ABSTRACT
Infective endocarditis is a very rare cardiac manifestation of salmonella infection, and splenic infarction is a rare noncardiac complication. We describe a case of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi bacteremia which was complicated by infective endocarditis with multiple splenic infarctions in a previously healthy 47-year-old female. She didn't have any history of foreign travel. The isolate of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi was susceptible to cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, quinolones but resistant to ampicillin. After 3 weeks of intravenous and oral therapy with ciprofloxacin, follow up transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed no vegetation. In addition, follow up abdominal CT showed decreased size of splenic infarctions. The patient was treated with 2 weeks of intravenous and 4 weeks of oral ciprofloxacin, and was cured without sequelae or relapse for 6 months follow-up.
