|May 1, 1976
Abstract:
A case of a wound dehiscence following a Salmonella wound infection is reported. Cholecystectomy for the typhoid carrier state is not an uncommon operation and carries the risk of Salmonella wound infection in about 7 per cent of the cases. Wound dehiscence with this type of infection has not previously been reported.
