    Summary

    Recurrent thoracic abscesses in a 62-year-old woman were caused by Salmonella typhi, an uncommon bacterial infection. This case highlights a rare, long-term manifestation of Salmonella typhi infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Salmonella typhi typically causes typhoid fever, a systemic illness.
    • Abscess formation is an infrequent presentation of Salmonella typhi infection.
    • Chronic, recurrent abscesses are particularly rare.

    Observation:

    • A 62-year-old female presented with a 35-year history of recurrent anterior thoracic abscesses.
    • Abscesses spontaneously drained pus on multiple occasions.
    • Pus cultures consistently identified Salmonella typhi.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a large abscess encasing the sternum and left ribs.
    • The extensive abscess formation indicates a chronic and invasive infection.
    • Identification of Salmonella typhi confirms the etiological agent.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the spectrum of clinical manifestations for Salmonella typhi.
    • It underscores the importance of considering unusual pathogens in chronic abscesses.
    • Highlights the need for long-term monitoring and tailored treatment for such rare presentations.
