Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Pancreatic abscesses are serious intra-abdominal infections.
  • Salmonella typhi is an uncommon cause of pancreatic abscesses.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a rare case of pancreatic abscess caused by Salmonella typhi.
  • To highlight the successful management of this condition.

Main Methods:

  • A 40-year-old male patient presented with symptoms suggestive of a pancreatic abscess.
  • Diagnostic imaging confirmed the presence of a pancreatic abscess.
  • The patient was treated with percutaneous needle aspiration and a course of antibiotics.
