| Abstract |
While nontyphoidal Salmonella sp. mainly cause bacterial enterocolitis, they occasionally cause serious extraintestinal infection to patients suffering diabetes, AIDS or other immunocompromising diseases. Here we report a case of ileum artery aneurysm complicated with psoas abscess caused by Salmonella enterica var. Enteritidis in a diabetic patient. As previous reports have revealed high incidence of Salmonella sp. as causative agents of aortic aneurythm complicated with psoas abscess, the present case further supports the importance of Salmonella sp. when selecting microbial testing and treatment in such cases. |
