  • Title: Gas-forming splenic abscess due to Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis in a chronically hemodialyzed patient.
    Author: Hung PH, Chiu YL, Hsueh PR.
    Journal: J Microbiol Immunol Infect; 2007 Jun; 40(3):276-8. PubMed ID: 17639171.
    Abstract:
    We describe a diabetic patient who was chronically hemodialyzed due to end-stage renal disease and developed a gas-forming splenic abscess and bacteremia caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis. Fever persisted despite urgent splenectomy and intravenous ceftriaxone and metronidazole for 14 days. He recovered completely after intravenous ciprofloxacin/metronidazole treatment for a further 14 days. The isolate was susceptible to ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone and did not exhibit extended-spectrum beta-lactamase phenotype.
