Salmonella neck abscess.
Salmonella neck abscesses have rarely been reported in the world literature. Two patients with underlying diabetes mellitus developed deep neck abscesses which did not respond to empirical antimicrobials. Diagnosis of salmonella infection was made by culture of the discharge. Successful treatment was obtained by prescribing appropriate antibiotics and proper drainage.
