Indian Journal of Pediatrics. 2010 July; 77(7): 807-808.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/142637Osteoarticular infections caused by Non-typhi Salmonella are exceptionally encountered. We report a case of a bacteriologically documented knee joint infection due to Salmonella enterica serotype enteritidis, following trauma in a child with thalassemia major. Emergency arthrotomy combined with antimicrobial therapy was helpful in eradication of infection.
