description Salmonella infections are common, though rarely cause disseminated or severe disease in immunocompetent children. We present a case of severe salmonella osteomyelitis and epidural abscess in a patient without significant risk factors.

As symptoms progressed, the workup was broadened to find the eventual source of infection.
