ABSTRACT
Salmonella are most commonly associated with gastroenteritis and enteric fever in humans. Occasionally, dissemination of bacilli throughout the body results in establishment of localized foci of persistent infection especially in patients with debilitating diseases and immunosuppressive states. Infection at various aberrant sites due to Salmonella has been reported relatively seldom. It has perfected the art of intracellular survival in niches from where they can cause myriad of effects. Six cases with Salmonella infection at unusual sites without any preexisting or underlying disease diagnosed over a period of two years are presented here. Salmonella etiology was not suspected in these patients and the diagnosis was made microbiologically only after culture isolation.
