almonella osteomyelitis occurs infrequently in healthy
children and can manifest in the subacute form. This
condition has only been reported in few cases previously.
We report the first case of primary subacute haematogenous
osteomyelitis of the calcaneum in a healthy 12-year-old child.
The patient made uneventful recovery following surgical
drainage and antibiotic therapy. Histology of the tissue biopsy
confirmed a diagnosis of Salmonella livingstone infection.
Although the diagnosis of Salmonella osteomyelitis of the
calcaneumcan be difficult to establish, it should be considered
as an aetiological factor even in healthy children.
