Non-typhoidal Salmonella is a known but rare cause of urinary tract infections (UTI). It has been associated with the elderly, urological abnormalities and immunocompromised states. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common cause of lung empyema, and is typically associated with diabetes and malignancy. Here, we report a patient who was found to have a Salmonella enteritidis bacteriuria as well as a lung empyema secondary to K. pneumoniae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
