ملخص

A splenectomised patient with Gaucher's disease who developed multiple foci of osteomyelitis and soft tissue abcesses, after a severe episode of group C salmonella sepsis, is described. Aggressive antibiotic treatment and surgical drainage had little effect and the patient's condition continued to deteriorate. With initiation of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in addition to specific antibiotic treatment, defervescence and gradual healing occurred. Complete resolution of the infection was seen after 15 months. The possible role of ERT in healing bacterial infections in Gaucher's disease is discussed.
