ABSTRACT
Salmonellosis is one of communicable disease and still occur in sporadic in Korea frequently. They are four main clinical manifestations in salmonellosis. They are gastroenteritis, typhoidal or septisemia syndrome, focal manifestation and carrier state. Among them, focal manifestation is rarely seen. Saphra, et al. reported that localized salmonella infection is about 5%. Localized salmonella infection frequently occur during salmonella bacteremia, but may also occur with enteric fever or gastroenteritis. Gray, et al reported 3390 cases of minor gunshot wound infection that bacterial isolates from infected wounds consisted of Staphylococcus aureus(90%), Streptococcus sp.(6%), and mixed organisms(4%). Incresed host susceptibility to infection secondary to lowered resistance due to debilitating disease is an important determinant of Salmonella infection. Since salmonella is seldom suspected as a cause of soft tissue infections,there is usually a dangerous delay in the institution of appropriate antimicrobial therapy and isolation procedure. We experienced one case of subcutaneous salmonella abscess developed on gunshot wound area in lung cancer patient, which was confirmed by pus culture.
