Salmonella typhi abscess as a late complication of simple cyst of the liver: a case report.
Liver abscesses due to Salmonella species occur rarely. In this case report, we present a simple liver cyst as a focus for Salmonella abscess, which to date has never been described in the literature. This case report emphasizes that simple liver cyst could be infected with Salmonella and progress to a complicated liver abscess, which responds well to percutaneous catheter drainage and anti-biotherapy.
