Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GFPLA) is considered to be a very severe form of PLA and carries a high mortality. Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most common pathogen responsible for the disease, whereas cases where Salmonella is cited as the cause are very uncommon. We report the first case of a 53-year-old lady suffering from GFPLA due to Salmonella, who was successfully treated with surgical drainage. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of GFPLA caused by Salmonella enteritidis to be reported in the English literature.
产气性化脓性肝脓肿（GFPLA）被认为是化脓性肝脓肿的一种非常严重的形式，死亡率很高。肺炎克雷伯菌是导致该病最常见的病原体，而以沙门氏菌为病因的病例非常罕见。我们报告了首例因沙门氏菌感染导致GFPLA的53岁女性病例，该患者通过手术引流成功治愈。据我们所知，这是英文文献中首次报道的由肠炎沙门氏菌引起的GFPLA病例。
