Salmonella osteomyelitis and hand-foot syndrome in a child with sickle cell anemia.
Hand-foot syndrome and Salmonella osteomyelitis are characteristic problems in children with sickle cell anemia. Salmonella osteomyelitis presenting as hand-foot syndrome is unusual and causes diagnostic difficulties. A recent case illustrates the diagnostic dilemmas and suggests appropriate screening studies for the child with sickle cell anemia and atypical hand-foot syndrome.
