Pleural empyema due to Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis in an immunocompetent elderly patient: a case report.
JMM Case Reports 2016 August
INTRODUCTION: Pleural empyema as a focal infection due to Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is rare and most commonly described among immunosuppressed patients or patients who suffer from sickle cell anaemia and lung malignancies.
CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we present an 81-year-old immunocompetent Greek woman with bacteraemia and pleural empyema due to Salmonella Enteritidis without any gastrointestinal symptoms.
CONCLUSION: In our case, we suggest that patient's pleural effusion secondary to heart failure was complicated by empyema and that focal intravascular infection was the cause of bacteraemia.
