Gastroenteritis causing critical limb ischaemia.
Six days after admission to hospital with Salmonella gastroenteritis, this patient presented with a critically ischaemic leg, having developed an iliac occlusion, and a subcutaneous Salmonella abscess in the anterior compartment of the leg. Critical limb ischaemia and abscess formation can be added to infective aortic aneurysm as vascular complications of Salmonella gastroenteritis.
