| الملخص: | <p dir="ltr">The non-typhoid <i>Salmonella</i> (NTS) species are commonly associated with <u>gastroenteritis</u> and other forms of <u>intestinal disease</u>. Thoraco-pulmonary infections are less commonly reported. We describe the case of a 66-year-old Qatari lady who presented with subacute<u> cough</u>. <u>Chest imaging</u> revealed multiple pulmonary and a pericardial cavitary lesion with air fluid levels. <u>Bronchoalveolar lavage</u> culture grew <i>Salmonella</i> species group D. The patient was treated with 4 weeks of appropriate antibiotics. Clinical and radiological improvement were documented on subsequent follow up. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pulmonary and pericardial salmonella abscesses in the state of Qatar.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: IDCases<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.idcr.2022.e01430" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.idcr.2022.e01430</a></p> |
