is known to cause invasive illness. However, head and neck abscesses are an unusual presentation of extra-intestinal infection with this organism. We describe a case of neck abscess in a diabetic patient. An 18 year old diabetic male was admitted with increasing left sided neck pain and swelling approximately four weeks after gastrointestinal illness. Imaging revealed a left sided neck abscess. Surgical drainage was undertaken. Cultures grew non-typhoid species. He was treated with intravenous antibiotics and did well clinically. infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with immunocompromising conditions presenting with neck abscess of unclear etiology.
已知可引起侵袭性疾病。然而，头颈部脓肿是该生物体肠外感染的一种不寻常表现。我们描述了一例糖尿病患者颈部脓肿的病例。一名18岁的糖尿病男性在胃肠道疾病后约四周因左侧颈部疼痛和肿胀加剧入院。影像学检查显示左侧颈部脓肿。进行了手术引流。培养物培养出非伤寒菌种。他接受了静脉抗生素治疗，临床情况良好。对于病因不明的颈部脓肿且有免疫功能低下情况的患者，鉴别诊断时应考虑感染。
