    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • A nulliparous Caucasian female presented with a two-week history of lower abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.
    • Initial stool examinations and blood cultures were negative, delaying diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A palpable lower abdominal mass developed over two weeks.
    • Laparotomy revealed bilateral tubo-ovarian abscesses.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of one endometriotic ovary and both fallopian tubes was performed.
    • Pus from the abscesses showed heavy growth of Salmonella stanley.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare presentation of Salmonella stanley causing tubo-ovarian abscesses.
    • Early recognition and surgical intervention are crucial for managing such severe intra-abdominal infections.
