[Acute bacterial sacroiliitis caused by Salmonella cholerae-suis].

: A 17-year-old schoolboy was admitted to hospital because of one-sided pelvic pain of uncertain aetiology and fever gradually rising over several days. Bacteriological analysis of blood cultures, skeletal scintigraphy and computed tomography revealed sacroiliitis caused by Salmonella cholerae-suis. Specific antibiotic treatment quickly stopped all symptoms and cured the infection. Radiologically there remained sclerosis of the sacro-iliac joint.
