title: Salmonella osteomyelitis of the femoral diaphysis in a healthy individual.
abstract: In reviewing the literature, we found few cases of Salmonella osteomyelitis of the femoral diaphysis in a healthy patient. Most are typically associated with sickle cell anemia or immunosuppressed patients. We report on the successful treatment of Salmonella osteomyelitis in the mid-diaphyseal region of the femur caused by Salmonella species in a healthy individual.
