Acute appendicitis is the most frequent and challenging condition requiring emergent intrabdominal surgery in children. The diagnosis of appendicitis becomes more difficult and challenging in children, especially with other medical problems. Computed tomography is the primary tool for diagnosing or excluding appendicitis in cases with atypical presentation. Salmonella infections may present as acute abdominal problems in children. We present a clinical combination that has never been previously reported, of a diabetic girl with non-typhoid Salmonella infection, diagnosed with acute appendicitis. We wonder about the causal correlation of these diseases, versus their simple coexistence.
急性阑尾炎是儿童最常见且极具挑战性的需要紧急进行腹腔内手术的病症。对于有其他医疗问题的儿童，阑尾炎的诊断变得更加困难和具有挑战性。在表现不典型的情况下，计算机断层扫描是诊断或排除阑尾炎的主要工具。沙门氏菌感染在儿童中可能表现为急性腹部问题。我们提出了一种以前从未报道过的临床组合，即患有非伤寒沙门氏菌感染的糖尿病女孩，被诊断为急性阑尾炎。我们想知道这些疾病之间是否存在因果关系，还是它们只是单纯地共存。
