Salmonella virchow sacroiliitis and bacteremia in a child
2002
: A 2.5 years old girl was admitted because of high fever and limping that appeared two days after she had trauma to her right leg. Bone scan demonstrated increased uptake in the right sacroiliac joint, and CT demonstrated right sacroiliitis. Salmonella vircow was isolated from the blood culture. The patient recovered after a five weeks course of intravenous antibiotics. Salmonella sacroiliitis in children is rare, and only seven cases have been reported in the English literature in the last 40 years. We reviewed the literature dealing with pathophysiology diagnosis therapy and outcome of this infection.
