Lung abscess and osteomyelitis of the ribs caused by Salmonella irumu in a child with S-B+-thalassemia

Orak hücre hastalığı olanların Salmonella enfeksiyonlarına duyarlılıkları artmıştır. Burada ateş, öksürük ve göğüs ağrısı ile gelen S-β+-talasemili bir çocuk sunuldu. Hasta pnömoni, akciğer apsesi ve kaburga osteomiyeliti tanılarını aldı. Kan ve göğüs duvarı apsesinin aspirasyon materyalinin kültüründen Salmonella irumu izole edildi. Hasta seftriakson ve ardından siprofloksasin ile başarıyla tedavi edildi.

S-B+-talasemili bir çocukta Salmonella irumu'ya bağlı akciğer apsesi ve kaburgalarda osteomiyelit

Patients with sickle cell disorders have an increased susceptibility to Salmonella infections. We report a child with S-β+-thalassemia who presented with fever, cough, and chest pain. The child diagnosed with pneumonia, lung abscess, and osteomyelitis of the ribs. Salmonella irumu was isolated from blood and an aspiration material of the chest wall abscess. The patient was treated successfully with ceftriaxone and subsequently ciprofloxacin.
