We describe an unusual case of a 58-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) developing sepsis secondary to a prevertebral neck abscess. Following cross-sectional imaging, the patient underwent surgical drainage. was isolated from urine, blood and pus cultures. species neck infections represent a rare cause of focal salmonellosis, though have been reported in the literature. This is the first reported case of causing neck abscess. The case highlights an atypical presentation of salmonellosis, with the surprising finding of a neck abscess on cross-sectional imaging without evidence of co-existing significant discitis or osteomyelitis.
我们描述了一例不同寻常的病例，一名58岁的2型糖尿病（T2DM）男性患者因颈椎前脓肿继发败血症。经横断面成像检查后，患者接受了手术引流。从尿液、血液和脓液培养物中分离出了[具体菌种]。[具体菌种]颈部感染是局灶性沙门氏菌病的罕见病因，不过文献中已有报道。这是首例报告的由[具体菌种]引起颈部脓肿的病例。该病例突出了沙门氏菌病的非典型表现，横断面成像意外发现颈部脓肿，且无并存严重椎间盘炎或骨髓炎的证据。
