Pleural involvement by Salmonella senftenberg: a report of two cases.
Non-typhoidal serovars of salmonella are an unusual cause of pleuropulmonary infections. We report two patients with empyema caused by Salmonella senftenberg. One patient had associated diabetes and gall bladder carcinoma, and infection was acquired in hospital. Both patients responded well to parenteral antibiotics.
