Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis), a non-typhoid Salmonella, is an important emerging pathogen that usually causes gastroenteritis. Here, we report polyserositis with right-sided pleural effusion and loculated collection of fluid in the peritoneum caused by S. Enteritidis in a 60-year-old man from southern India. The patient was immunocompetent and did not have preceding gastroenteritis or any local structural abnormality. Malnutrition and old age might have been the predisposing factors. The patient received intravenous ceftriaxone for 2 weeks followed by oral ciprofloxacin. Pleurocentesis and abdominal paracentesis were also done. The patient was cured as evidenced by clinical improvement and radiological disappearance of the fluid collection.
肠炎沙门氏菌血清型肠炎亚种（S. Enteritidis）是一种非伤寒沙门氏菌，是一种重要的新兴病原体，通常引起肠胃炎。在这里，我们报告了一例由 S. Enteritidis 引起的 60 岁印度南部男子多浆膜炎，伴有右侧胸腔积液和腹腔内液体局限性积聚。该患者免疫功能正常，没有先前的肠胃炎或任何局部结构异常。营养不良和年老可能是诱发因素。患者接受了 2 周的静脉注射头孢曲松，随后口服环丙沙星。还进行了胸腔穿刺和腹腔穿刺。患者的临床症状改善，影像学上的积液消失，表明已治愈。
