ABSTRACT
Salmonella is a gram-negative bacilli bacterium that can infect and colonize humans, causing a wide range of clinical manifestations. The most common manifestation is gastroenteritis, usually after ingestion of undercooked and ill-prepared food, particularly in developing countries. Indonesia is among those reported to have a high incidence of Salmonella infection. Uncommonly, extraintestinal manifestations can affect distant body sites, either during or after the episode of bacteremia. This case report presents a rare case of a healthy 19-year-old female who developed an atypical chest wall abscess colonized by Salmonella in the context of experiencing gastroenteritis three weeks prior on her return from Bali, Indonesia. This case highlights the indolent course associated with a Salmonella chest wall abscess with a discussion of the current literature and management.
