Osteonecrosis in sickle cell trait.

Osteonecrosis is common in sickle cell anemia but has been rarely reported with sickle cell trait. Two cases of osteonecrosis of the femoral head caused by sickle cell trait are presented. One patient's diagnosis was delayed because the association of osteonecrosis and sickle cell trait was not recognized. The previous reported cases of this association are discussed, emphasizing diagnostic implications for 12 black patients presenting with hip pain.

Septic arthritis due to Aerococcus viridans.

A 20-year-old woman was found to have septic arthritis of the hip due to Aerococcus viridans. This organism closely resembles Streptococcus viridans, but forms gram positive tetrads rather than chains in broth media. The organism has been reported rarely to cause endocarditis and one case of osteomyelitis has been observed. To our knowledge septic arthritis due to Aerococcus viridans has not been previously reported.
