RESUMO
Non-diphtherial Corynebacterial (NDC) species, while previously considered as culture contaminants, are increasingly being implicated in clinical disease and identified as causes of opportunistic infections. In cases where they grow in pure cultures, isolated from a sterile site or repeated isolations from the same patient, NDC may be labeled as clinically significant. We report here a case of non-healing infection of one of the implanted devices in a case of bilateral total hip replacement, caused by multidrug-resistant Corynebacterium striatum. Adherence to infection prevention strategies is essential for the prevention of prosthetic implant infections.

Enteric fever is an acute systemic febrile infection caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi. Breast abscess due to S. typhi infection is a rare sequelae. We report here a classical case of Salmonella typhi infection in a rare clinical form of a breast abscess in a non-lactating immuno-compromised female.

Enteric fever is a multisystem disorder caused mainly by Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi A. It continues to be a major public health problem, especially in developing countries. Unusual presentations of Salmonellosis are rare. We report 3 such cases of young adult males, one of splenic abscess due to Salmonella typhi and one each of liver abscess due to Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi A. A brief review of the literature pertaining to the cases is also given.
