A 4 year old girl was admitted with septic arthritis due to Salmonella panama. The treatment with antibiotics and steroids was successful. In this review the authors discuss the ethological factors, the mechanism that might cause the disease, and the possible ways of treatment, and want to point out the association of the disease with the HLA system and other predisposible factors.
