Summary A case of aplastic crisis in a child with sickle‐cell anemia and salmonella typhi‐murum septicemia is reported. Salmonello‐sis appears to be the most frequently proven infectious agent triggering the onset of aplastic crises in these patients. Steroids are of no real value in the management of the aplastic crisis. Their use in patients with sickle‐cell anemia during aplastic episodes may be contraindicated.
