SUB DIAPHRAGMATIC ABSCESS DUE TO SALMONELLA TYPHI: A RARE CASE REPORT FROM SUB-HIMALAYAN REGION
Keywords:
Salmonella Typhi, Diaphragmatic, Sub Himalayan
Abstract
Salmonella Typhi causing subdiaphragmatic abscess is a rare entity. Intraabdominal abscess due to salmonella is usually associated with nontyphoid salmonella. We report a rare case of subdiaphragmatic abscess due to Salmonella Typhi in an 80 years old diabetic man. Ultrasound-guided drainage of fluid revealed pus cells on microscopy, and S. Typhi was cultured and identified by necessary biochemical tests and specific antisera. The patient succumbed to infection despite appropriate antibiotics, possibly due to co-morbid conditions. The case is presented for its rarity and to highlight atypical manifestations of S. Typhi in endemic regions.
