ABSTRACT
Between 1979 and 1989 patients presented with soft tissue infections caused by salmonella typhi or paratyphi B, at the Infectious Diseases Hospital Dr. Lucio Cordova, Santiago, Chile. These complications appeared during or after the clinical course of an enteric fever, or without any antecedent illness. The patients were predominantly young and females. The lesions were mainly located in the lower extremities. 50 percent of the patients presented with a concommitant deep bone or joint infection. 11 patients were treated with cloramphenicol (average 22,8 days), 3 with TMP-SMX (average 23 days) and 4 whith a combination of drugs. 13 patients required surgical drainage. This unusual complication extended hospital stay convelescence, but all our patients had a complete recovery
