ABSTRACT
A breast abscess is a rare complication of Salmonella bacteremia; especially, in immunocompetent patients. In the era of antimicrobial resistance, untreated or resistant Salmonella can lead to abscess formation in various organs of the body. The authors report a case of unilateral breast abscess due to Nalidixic Acid Resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (NARST) in a 30-year-old immunocompetent female. This case report highlights the importance of culture & sensitivity of breast abscesses especially in patients residing in endemic areas or those with a recent history of typhoid fever
ABSTRACT
Primary gastrointestinal lymphomas are rare. Jejunal non Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting as perforative peritonitis is extremely rare. We report a 51-year-old man who presented with perforative peritonitis and was detected to have jejunal non Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was treated with resection of the affected segment with its mesentery and postoperative chemotherapy, and was asymptomatic 5 months later.
