Salmonella enteritis, a type of infectious enteritis, can cause ascites (abdominal fluid). This case highlights its potential role in differential diagnosis for patients presenting with ascites.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Ascites, characterized by free intraperitoneal fluid, has a broad differential diagnosis encompassing benign and malignant conditions.
  • Infectious enteritis is not typically recognized as a cause of ascites.

Observation:

  • A 21-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea.
  • Abdominal and pelvic sonography revealed a moderate amount of free fluid in the pelvis.
  • Salmonella enteritis was diagnosed as the cause of her symptoms.

Findings:

  • This case demonstrates Salmonella enteritis as a cause of ascites.
  • The presence of free intraperitoneal fluid was confirmed via sonography.

Implications:

  • Salmonella enteritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ascites, particularly in patients with compatible symptoms.
  • This finding expands the understanding of infectious causes of ascites.
