CASE OF SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF BILATERAL SALMONELLA COXITIS

This report presents a clinical case of treatment of Salmonella coxitis, developed as a result of bacteremia, which is a fairly rare complication. We performed head resection of both femurs and, after long-term antibiotic therapy, total hip replacement within six months from the onset of the disease. Given the lack of publications on the tactics of treating patients with this pathology in the accessible medical literature, we believe that our experience will be useful to specialists engaged in the treatment of patients with diseases of large joints.
