Salmonella Prostatic Abscess in an Immunocompetent Patient.

Patients returning from travel to a foreign country often present with atypical infections that can present as diagnostic challenges.

The common clinical manifestations of Salmonella infection include fever and diarrhea; however, about 5% of cases of non-typhi Salmonella progress to bacteremia. Here, we present a case of a unique presentation of Salmonella infection manifesting as a prostatic abscess in an immunocompetent patient.
