“…First is the potential for metastatic infection. Salmonella can cause endovascular and orthopedic infections [33–35], visceral abscesses of virtually any organ [36], as well as superinfection of ovarian cysts and endometriomas (as in this case) [13, 15]. Previously reported cases of ovarian cysts and endometriomas with Salmonella superinfection are summarized in (Table 1).…”

We present the case of a 28-year-old woman with Salmonella serovar Schwarzengrund gastroenteritis acquired during foreign travel. Her case was complicated by superinfection of a pre-existing ovarian endometrioma with a quinolone-resistant organism; the resultant ovarian abscess ultimately required surgical removal for resolution. We review the key features of this case and the previous literature on Salmonella ovarian abscess. This report highlights (1) the potential for metastatic spread of Salmonella to the ovary in women with pre-existing cysts or endometriomas and (2) the increasing worldwide burden of quinolone-resistant Salmonella.

“…They investigated 6250 cases of Salmonella infections; 100 patients had a focal pyogenic infection requiring surgical intervention in addition to medical therapy and only one patient had a pre‐existing endometriotic ovarian cyst. There are several patient reports of an ovarian abscess caused by Salmonella 2–5 . Burgmans et al have reported a case of an endometriotic ovarian cyst infected by S. enteritidis and reviewed 14 cases including their case 5 .…”

“…There are several patient reports of an ovarian abscess caused by Salmonella 2–5 . Burgmans et al have reported a case of an endometriotic ovarian cyst infected by S. enteritidis and reviewed 14 cases including their case 5 . According to the review, seven cases had a history of Salmonella enteritis diagnosed a few weeks before identical abscess formation.…”

“…Endometriotic cyst is particularly prone to secondary suppurative inflammation. Most offending organism implicated in infected ovarian mucinous cystadenoma, dermoid cyst and endometriotic cyst is salmonella typhi [46, 47]. In addition to signs of acute abdomen, constitutional symptoms such as fever and tachycardia may be present.…”
