ABSTRACT
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.
