title: [Suppurative parotitis as a sequela of infection with Salmonella enteritidis].
abstract: Extraintestinal manifestations of Salmonella infection are rare events and occur primarily in immunocompromised hosts. We report on a 69-year old male patient hospitalized for absceding suppurative parotitis. From the swab taken on incision of the abscess, Salmonella enteritidis was cultivated. There was no preceding gastrointestinal infection in our patient. Risk factors in our patient included a poorly controlled non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, chronic alcohol abuse, and advanced age. Quinolones are the therapy of choice in extraintestinal salmonellosis. On ciprofloxacin perorally, the patient showed rapid recovery.
