Abstract:
Samonella infection is usually a short febrile self-limiting disease localized to the gut, acquired by ingestion of contaminated food or water. The infection is seldom accompanied by extraintestinal complication. If such a complication does occur, the abscess is often located in bone and periost. Isolated suppurative ovarian infections are rare, but have descirbed, particularly in dermoid cysts, cystadenomas or endometrioma. We report a case of a patient with a Salmonella typhi infection in a serous cystadenoma.
