Gallbladder Empyema and Epidural Abscess Due to Salmonella Enteritidis After Treatment of Primary Infection: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Nontyphoidal Salmonella can cause gallbladder empyema and disseminated disease in patients with suppressed immune systems. We are reporting a unique case of concomitant gallbladder empyema and epidural abscess due to Salmonella enterica subsp enterica serovar Enteritidis in a patient who was appropr...

Sumario:Nontyphoidal Salmonella can cause gallbladder empyema and disseminated disease in patients with suppressed immune systems. We are reporting a unique case of concomitant gallbladder empyema and epidural abscess due to Salmonella enterica subsp enterica serovar Enteritidis in a patient who was appropriately treated for the primary Salmonella infection complicated by bacteremia. A high degree of suspicion is needed in high-risk patients as timely intervention can avoid life-threatening complications.
