Introduction: The present study is a retrospective analysis of a total of 36 cases of bacteriologically proven extra-intestinal salmonellosis, managed at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, between 1987 and 2012 (25 years). The extra-intestinal sites involved were the skin, cerebrum, spleen, ovary, synovium, and the skeletal muscle. Methodology: The extra-intestinal specimens were first processed using standard methods. Colonies suspected as Salmonella were identified by standard laboratory methods, initially by manual biochemical reactions and later by the API system (bioMerieux, Marcy l'Etoile-France) and the Vitek-2 system (bioMerieux). All the Salmonella isolates were sent to Central Research Institute, Kasauli, for serotyping. Results: The predominant serotype isolated was Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi) in 27 (75%) patients, followed by Salmonella Senftenberg (S. Senftenberg) in 5 (14%), Salmonella Paratyphi A (S. Paratyphi A) in 3 (8%), and Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) in 1 (3%). There was an increasing resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, cephalosporins (third generation), and quinolones over the 25 years.Conclusions: The diagnosis of extra-intestinal salmonellosis requires a high degree of clinical suspicion and should be included in the differential diagnosis in patients with deep-seated abscesses.

“…[8] Ultrasonography and other imaging studies have wonderful sensitivities to pick up abscess pathologies, but microbiological diagnosis is absolutely essential to establish a causal relationship and strategizing further therapeutic plans. [9] Here, despite the fact that treatment was immediately modified to confirm to the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of enteritidis, patient could not be saved probably because the patient had already landed into septicaemia.…”

BACKGROUNDSalmonella enteritidis is one of the most important serovars transmitted from animals to man and a serovar most commonly reported worldwide. Although infection with S. enteritidis is limited to the intestinal tract, under certain circumstances it may cross the mucosal barrier, disseminate and get established as some localized infectious focus. Although cited as a very uncommon cause, S. enteritidis may involve the liver and evolve into an overt abscess. Pyogenic liver abscess by a gas forming organism like S. enteritidis usually follow a fulminant course. Associated morbidity and mortality is high unless immediate therapeutic interventions are initiated.

También se han descrito casos de abscesos cerebrales y meningitis, esta última especialmente en niños o adultos inmunocomprometidos 16 .…”

However, there have been reports of atypical and severe presentations in immunocompromised patients. We report the case of a male patient who consulted with a cervical mass. He was found to be HIV-positive and Salmonella Typhimurium was isolated in one blood culture and cervical mass tissue culture. We discuss the relevance of infections by NTS in immunodefi cient patients because they present with more severe illness than normal population. We emphasize the importance of NTS bacteremia as a marker of underlying immunodefi ciency. We present some localized infection sites reported in the literature and their relation with particular diseases. We discuss the future relevance that an early start of antiretroviral therapy (ART) may have in HIV patients with NTS acute bacteremia or focal infections. Because infections by NTS can be severe and highly lethal they must be considered in the differential diagnosis of causative organisms of localized infections and bacteremia in HIV patients.
