title: Pelvic abscess caused by Salmonella: a case report.
abstract: We report a case of a 28-year-old woman, with no history of sexual activity, who developed a cul-de-sac abscess and bilateral salpingitis caused by Salmonella group C1. This paper documents our limited experience with such an unusual event and suggests that gastrointestinal pathogens should be considered as potential etiologic organisms in patients presenting with pelvic infection and gastroenteritis.
