Abstract:
Pyogenic sacroiliitis is a rare joint infection, with a challenging diagnosis due to its nonspecific indicators and symptoms. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative bacteria of pyogenic sacroiliitis, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa being the most common causative gram-negative bacteria. Interestingly, whereas Salmonella species. is reportedly the second most common cause of this disorder there have been no reported cases of acute sacroiliitis due to Salmonella spp. in Korea, to the best of our knowledge. In this study, we report on the first case in a young Korean adult caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Livingstone, with no underlying disease or predisposing factors.
