Salmonella infection can cause a wide range of presentations, predominantly gastrointestinal but occasionally with cardiovascular or other extraintestinal manifestations. The diagnosis of extraintestinal salmonellosis requires a high degree of clinical suspicion and should be considered in patients with deep-seated abscesses especially if they are immunocompromised. We present a case of salmonella causing gastroenteritis complicated by an intramuscular abscess of the left leg. With prompt recognition and multidisciplinary management, the patient recovered with no serious sequela.
沙门氏菌感染可导致多种临床表现,主要为胃肠道症状,但偶尔也会出现心血管或其他肠外表现。肠外沙门氏菌病的诊断需要高度的临床怀疑,对于有深部脓肿的患者,尤其是免疫功能低下的患者,应考虑该病。我们报告一例沙门氏菌引起的胃肠炎并发左腿肌肉脓肿的病例。通过及时识别和多学科管理,患者康复,未出现严重后遗症。
