Salmonella rib osteomyelitis is extremely rare; we found only one previously reported case. A 33-year-old man presenting with a discharging sternal sinus was diagnosed by means of computed tomography and bone isotope scans and confirmed by excision of the affected portion of the rib. The operation was curative.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the commonest severe inherited disorders in the world. Infection accounts for a significant amount of the morbidity and mortality, particularly in sub- Saharan Africa, but is relatively poorly studied and characterized. Patients with SCD have significant immunodeficiency and are more likely to suffer severe and life-threatening complications of infection, and additionally infections can trigger complications of SCD itself.

Salmonella is a rare causative pathogen of osteomyelitis and is commonly detected in patients with sickle cell disease. We described 2 consecutive cases of nontyphoidal Salmonella osteomyelitis identified in immunocompetent children. It is evident that even children without apparent risk factors for immune dysfunctions can be affected, so maintaining clinical suspicion is crucial for early diagnosis and prompt treatment.

Article Synopsis
- - Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder where individuals have a mutated form of hemoglobin, leading to a range of complications like osteomyelitis, particularly affecting bones like the tibia and femur.
- - This study aimed to identify the signs that help diagnose osteomyelitis in pediatric patients with SCD who were experiencing vaso-occlusive crises or suspected osteomyelitis.
- - Involving 28 children, the study found that most blood cultures showed no growth, but some did have infections like salmonella. Key indicators such as leukocytosis and high ferritin levels were linked to osteomyelitis, with diagnostic imaging revealing certain cases of bone edema.
