ABSTRACT
Salmonellosis caused by bacterial genus Salmonella is associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Salmonellae can be divided into typhoidal serotypes (S. enterica ser. Typhi and S. enterica ser. Paratyphi A) and nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) serotypes. The two most common NTS serotypes isolated from human sources were S. enterica ser. Typhimurium and S. enterica ser. Enteritidis. NTS infection can present with diverse clinical manifestations, including gastroenteritis, bacteraemia, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and endovascular infection. Intestinal perforation is an extremely rare and potentially fatal complication of severe salmonella infection. Herein, we report a case of invasive S. Enteritidis infection complicated by colonic perforation and pancytopenia. Following a colonic resection, the patient received a prolonged course of antimicrobial therapy and eventually recovered.
