Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Focal head and neck infections are typically caused by common bacterial pathogens.
  • Salmonella species are infrequently implicated in localized infections outside the gastrointestinal tract.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 24-year-old diabetic male presenting with a neck abscess is detailed.
  • The abscess was confirmed to be caused by Salmonella enteritidis.

Findings:

  • Salmonella enteritidis is an uncommon but potential cause of head and neck abscesses.
  • Review of existing literature on Salmonella-related head and neck infections.

Implications:

  • Salmonella should be included in the differential diagnosis for head and neck abscesses.
  • Highlights the need for broad microbiological investigation in specific patient populations, such as diabetics.
