title: Salmonella paratyphi C osteomyelitis: report of two separate episodes 17 years apart.
abstract: Osteomyelitis secondary to salmonella infection is well documented in the literature. Infection in more than one focus has also been described. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of recurrent osteomyelitis in a normal host (a 35-year-old man) with the same organism (S. paratyphi C) in different sites 17 years apart.
