A case of septicemia owing to Salmonella choleraesuis with localization in the lumbar spine and left knee is described. The spinal lesion is dominated by tuberculoid granulomas with or without central necrosis. The necrotic foci within some granulomas show heavy polymorph infiltration, whereas in others they simulate caseous necrosis and are indistinguishable histologically from tuberculosis, brucellosis, and fungal infections. As Salmonella osteomyelitis has a strong tendency to chronicity if antimicrobial treatment is delayed, inappropriate, or inadequate, this diagnosis should be considered in all cases of granulomatous osteomyelitis, especially when the patient is immunosuppressed or has hemoglobinopathy.

We describe a 73-year-old man with Crohn's disease and previous sternotomies, who developed Salmonella sternoclavicular osteomyelitis subsequent to a Salmonella enteritidis sepsis and closed fracture of his clavicle. We include evidence from several cases related to sternoclavicular osteomyelitis, and Salmonella osteomyelitis. We continue by summarising the aetologies of these diseases, and risk factors that predispose to them.
