RESUMO
Resumen La infección por Salmonella no Typhi es una de las enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos más común y ampliamente extendida en el mundo. Aunque la mayoría de los casos se limitan al tracto gastrointestinal, el compromiso extraintestinal no es infrecuente. Sin embargo, la adenitis como manifestación aislada, es una forma inusual de presentación de la enfermedad. Comunicamos el caso clínico de una mujer de 67 años de edad con diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus y una linfadenitis cervical por Salmonella no Typhi tratada con ciprofloxacina y y que requirió resección quirúrgica.
No Typhoid Salmonella infection is one of the most common and widely spread foodborne diseases worldwide. Although most cases are limited to the gastrointestinal tract, extraintestinal involvement is not uncommon. However, adenitis as an isolated manifestation, is an unusual form of the disease. We report a case of Salmonella no Typhoid cervical lymphadenitis in a 67-year-old female with a recent diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, who was treated with surgery and ciprofloxacin.

Osteoarticular infections caused by Non-typhi Salmonella are exceptionally encountered. We report a case of a bacteriologically documented knee joint infection due to Salmonella enterica serotype enteritidis, following trauma in a child with thalassemia major. Emergency arthrotomy combined with antimicrobial therapy was helpful in eradication of infection. Physicians should be aware of this rare manifestation of Non-typhi Salmonella infections in thalassemic patients.
