Core Tip	Although immunosuppression therapy im-proves kidney allograft and patient’s survival, it is a major risk factor for infection following kidney trans-plantation, altering the clinical manifestations of the infectious diseases and complicating both the diagnosis and management of renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Existing literature regarding osteomyelitis in RTRs is very limited while sternoclavicular osteomyelitis is a rare entity presenting with its own unique set of risk factors and complications. Infections caused by unconventional pathogens with unconventional infection sites are being increasingly diagnosed in RTRs and the physician should always remain alert when dealing with these patients.
