[Septic arthritis caused by Salmonella enteritidis in systemic lupus erythematosus].
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is among the chronic diseases thought to predispose patients to severe Salmonella infections. However, arthritis and osteomyelitis due to this microorganisms are more frequently seen in patients with sickle-cell disease than SLE. We report two cases of SLE and osteoarticular infections by Salmonella enteritidis: A 36-years old woman with bilateral knee arthritis associated with femoral osteomyelitis and a 22-years-old woman who presented with left knee arthritis.
