“…Pneumonia, with or without pleural empyema, and soft-tissue abscesses represent uncommon complication of NTS infection, accounting for 10% [4] and from 3.7% [3] to 7.3% [5], respectively, of extra-intestinal focal infections. To the best of our knowledge, chest wall abscesses caused by non-NTS have been reported only in 6 patients between 1990 and 2011: 4 of them had no underlying disease or predisposing condition [11–14] and 2 patients had AIDS [15,16]. Most extra-intestinal localizations of NTS infections develop in pediatric patients and in patients with underlying diseases or predisposing conditions, such as malignancies, diabetes mellitus, immunosuppressive therapies, liver cirrhosis, renal insufficiency, or HIV infection [4–9].…”

Patient: Male, 73Final Diagnosis: Salmonella typhimurium abscess of the chest wallSymptoms: —Medication: CiprofloxacinClinical Procedure:—Specialty: Infectious DiseasesObjective:Unusual clinical courseBackground:Non-typhoid Salmonella extra-intestinal infections usually develop in infants and in adult patients with pre-existing predisposing conditions. Blood stream infections and urinary tract infections are the most common clinical presentations, but other sites of infection may be involved as well.Case Report:We describe a case of invasive salmonellosis caused by Salmonella typhimurium involving the chest wall in a 73-year-old man. The patient had suffered from gastroenteritis followed by left basal pneumonia with pleural effusion 7 weeks before. The CT scan of the chest wall showed a pericostal abscess with shirt-stud morphology near the left last cartilaginous arch. The abscess was surgically drained and patient was cured after a 40-day ciprofloxacin treatment.Conclusions:A review of the literature on extra-intestinal non-typhoid salmonellosis shows that pleuropulmonary and soft-tissue infections are uncommon. We argue that non-typhoid Salmonella might be considered as a possible cause of chest wall abscess in individuals with recent history of gastroenteritis complicated by pneumonia and pleural effusion.

“…[7][8][9] Extraintestinal focal involvement, particularly of the lungs, has been reported in adults with HIV, but has been documented rarely in children. [10][11][12][13][14][15] We report the case of a child who presented with Salmonella typhimurium pneumonia as the initial manifestation of HIV infection.…”

Focal Infections Due to Non‐typhi Salmonellain Patients with AIDS: Report of 10 Cases and Review

et al. 1997

Bacteremia due to non-typhi Salmonella is frequent in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients; however, focal complications rarely have been reported. Ten of 38 HIV-infected patients (26.3%) with salmonellosis documented over a period of 9 years had focal suppurative complications; only 19 (3.9%) of 490 adults without HIV infection who were seen during the same period had focal complications (P = .001). Infections of the urinary tract, lungs, and soft tissue, followed by arthritis, endocarditis, and meningitis were most frequently seen. Although salmonellosis occasionally heralded HIV infection, most patients were severely immunocompromised and had CD4 cell counts of <100/mm3. The mortality rate was 50%, equivalent to that observed among patients with other immunosuppressive disorders (52.6%). Major emphasis must be put on intensive therapy for salmonella bacteremia and prevention of its complications.
