“…However, liver abscesses caused by S . Paratyphi A infection were reported by Jeans and Mckendrick 89. A man who had suffered from 8 days of serious abdominal pain, fevers, diarrhoea, and nausea was admitted to the hospital.…”

“…However, a few case studies had shown that these symptoms should not be the standard for paratyphoid fever's diagnosis because most of these symptoms are too common 87, 88, 89. In general, patients with paratyphoid fever have more rose spots than patients with typhoid fever.…”

“…Abdominal computerised tomography scan result showed a 6 cm mass within the right lobe of the liver. Confirmatory diagnosis was carried out with serological test and the test strongly suggested that the patient had an amoebic liver abscess with secondary infection by S. Paratyphi A 89.…”

The incidence of enteric fever caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A (S. Paratyphi A) is increasing in many parts of the world. Although there is no major outbreak of paratyphoid fever in recent years, S. Paratyphi A infection still remains a public health problem in many tropical countries. Therefore, surveillance studies play an important role in monitoring infections and the emergence of multidrug resistance, especially in endemic countries such as India, Nepal, Pakistan and China. In China, enteric fever was caused predominantly by S. Paratyphi A rather than by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi). Sometimes, S. Paratyphi A infection can evolve into a carrier state which increases the risk of transmission for travellers. Hence, paratyphoid fever is usually classified as a “travel-associated” disease. To date, diagnosis of paratyphoid fever based on the clinical presentation is not satisfactory as it resembles other febrile illnesses, and could not be distinguished from S. Typhi infection. With the availability of Whole Genome Sequencing technology, the genomes of S. Paratyphi A could be studied in-depth and more specific targets for detection will be revealed. Hence, detection of S. Paratyphi A with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method appears to be a more reliable approach compared to the Widal test. On the other hand, due to increasing incidence of S. Paratyphi A infections worldwide, the need to produce a paratyphoid vaccine is essential and urgent. Hence various vaccine projects that involve clinical trials have been carried out. Overall, this review provides the insights of S. Paratyphi A, including the bacteriology, epidemiology, management and antibiotic susceptibility, diagnoses and vaccine development.

“…In salmonellosis, liver abscesses are caused by S. typhi (Rodriguez and Undurraga 1955;Penaloza et al 1974;Chogle et al 1981;Rovito and Bonanno 1982;Petersen 1984;Matar et al 1990;Soni et al 1994;Ciraj et al 2001;Rogers and Wadula 2001;Chaudhry et al 2003;Chou et al 2006;Kabra and Wadhwa 2006), S. paratyphi A (Rajagopal et al 2002;Chaudhry et al 2003;Jeans and McKendrick 2007), S. enteritidis (Hirschowitz 1952;Collazos et al 1991;Elias et al 1996;Vidal et al 2003;Sheikh et al 2011), S. infantis (Simmers et al 1997), Salmonella group D non-typhi (Choi et al 2006), S. choleraesuis (Luong and Fournier 1960), and S. bareilly (Allegra and Niutta 1957).…”

“…Salmonella abscess of the liver may develop within necrotic hepatic tumor metastases (Modol et al 2006) or hepatocellular carcinoma (Elias et al 1996;Lee et al 2002), in intrahepatic hematoma (Cerwenka et al 1997), via secondary infection of an amoebic liver abscess (Essien et al 1965;Mansharamani et al 1971;Marr and Haff 1971;Jeans and McKendrick 2007), and as a late complication of simple liver cyst infection (Gömceli et al 2006;Sangwaiya et al 2009). Hepatic Salmonella abscess can follow Salmonella cholangitis (Holler and Starlinger 1954) and may be combined with splenic abscesses (Chaudhry et al 2003).…”
