Abstract

We report a case of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (S.Typhi) isolated from a case of post- traumatic anterior parietal wall abscess. Enteric fever is endemic in most of the developing regions, especially in the Indian sub-continent. S.Typhi bacteremia is known to be associated with extra-intestinal disease. It is capable of forming abscesses in various organs, like spleen, sub-cutaneous tissue & skin. The pathogenesis of abscess formation is not well established. Salmonella species can occasionally cause soft tissue infections at the sites of local trauma.
