Abstract EN
Non-typhi Salmonella normally presents as a bacteremia, enterocolitis, and endovascular infection but rarely manifests as pleuropulmonary disease.
We present a case of a 66-year-old female with underlying pulmonary pathology, secondary to an extensive smoking history, who presented with a left-sided pleural effusion.
The causative agent was identified as being group D Salmonella.
Decortication of the lung was performed and the patient was discharged on antibiotics with resolution of her symptoms.
This case helps to support the inclusion of Salmonella group D as a possible etiological agent of infection in the differential causes of exudative pleural effusions.
