| Abstract |
|
Infection with nontyphoidal Salmonella most often results in self-limited acute gastroenteritis. However, occasionally it causes bacteremia and localized infection requiring antibiotic treatment. A third-generation cephalosporin or fluoroquinolone is often the first choice of antibiotic. However, there has been an increase in nalidixic-acid-resistant nontyphoidal Salmonella with decreased fluoroquinolone susceptibility. Although there have been many cases reported of nontyphoidal Salmonella, no cases of nalidixic-acid-resistant nontyphoidal Salmonella have been reported in Korea. Here, we report on the case of a 61-year-old man with a diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis and periosteal abscess of the femur caused by nalidixic-acid-resistant Salmonella enteritidis. He was treated successfully with prolonged administration of a high-dose of ciprofloxacin and drainage of the abscess. |
