Abstract
Salmonella is a rare causative pathogen of osteomyelitis and is commonly detected in patients with sickle cell disease. We described 2 consecutive cases of nontyphoidal Salmonella osteomyelitis identified in immunocompetent children. It is evident that even children without apparent risk factors for immune dysfunctions can be affected, so maintaining clinical suspicion is crucial for early diagnosis and prompt treatment.
