[Recurrent thoracic abscess due to Salmonella typhi].
Abscess formation by Salmonella typhi is an unusual manifestation. A woman aged 62 suffered from recurrent abscess in the anterior thorax for 35 years, which was released by spontaneous pus drainage each time. Pus cultures grew S. typhi, and the CT scan revealed a large abscess enclosing the sternum and left ribs.
