A veterinary surgeon developed pustular dermatitis from Salmonella stanley after handling a deceased calf. This rare cutaneous Salmonella stanley infection resolved fully without systemic symptoms, highlighting a unique case presentation.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Dermatology
Zoonotic Diseases
Microbiology

Background:

Salmonella species are common bacterial pathogens causing gastrointestinal illness in humans and animals.
Cutaneous manifestations of Salmonella infections are rare, particularly in immunocompetent individuals.
Salmonella stanley is an infrequently reported serotype, with limited data on its clinical presentations.

Observation:

A veterinary surgeon presented with pustular dermatitis localized to the arm.
The onset of dermatitis occurred subsequent to assisting in the delivery of a stillborn bovine calf.
The patient remained asymptomatic systemically and experienced complete resolution of the skin lesions.

Findings:

The pustular dermatitis was confirmed to be caused by Salmonella stanley.

This represents the first documented case of a cutaneous infection attributed to Salmonella stanley in veterinary or human medicine.

The localized cutaneous presentation occurred without evidence of systemic spread or illness.

Implications:

This case expands the known clinical spectrum of Salmonella stanley infections.
It underscores the importance of considering zoonotic bacterial pathogens in localized skin lesions of animal-associated professionals.
Further investigation into the pathogenesis and transmission routes of Salmonella stanley cutaneous infections is warranted.
