This case report details a rare instance of acute suppurative thyroiditis caused by Salmonella typhi in an elderly woman. Prompt needle aspiration and antibiotic treatment led to a full recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Endocrinology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Acute suppurative thyroiditis is a rare condition, often presenting with neck pain and swelling.
  • Enteric fever, caused by Salmonella species, typically affects the gastrointestinal tract.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of acute suppurative thyroiditis.
  • Neck radiography revealed a localized abscess with an air-fluid level within the thyroid gland.

Findings:

  • The causative agent, Salmonella typhi, was identified as a rare cause of thyroiditis.
  • Microbial culture confirmed Salmonella typhi from the thyroid abscess.

Implications:

  • This case highlights Salmonella typhi as a potential pathogen in acute suppurative thyroiditis.
