Abstract
Acute acalculous cholecystitis and acute hemorrhagic cystitis due to Salmonella Typhi are a rare condition. A 24-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with abdominal pain, nausea, fever, headache, urinary burning, and bloody urine. Based on clinical, laboratory, and radiological evaluations, the patient was diagnosed with acute acalculous cholecystitis and acute hemorrhagic cystitis due to Salmonella Typhi. The patient was treated with intravenous ceftriaxone for two weeks. After the treatment, the patient's clinical and laboratory findings improved. Acute acalculous cholecystitis due to Salmonella Typhi concomitant with acute hemorrhagic cystitis is very rare and might be difficult to diagnose. Infectious agents such as Salmonella Typhi should be considered when acute acalculous cholecystitis and acute hemorrhagic cystitis are detected in adult patients with no underlying diseases.
Highlights
Salmonella Typhi are human-specific bacteria that are transmitted by the fecal-oral route
We report a case of acute acalculous cholecystitis and acute hemorrhagic cystitis due to Salmonella Typhi
Typhoid fever is caused by the intracellular pathogen Salmonella Typhi, which continues to be a problem in many developing countries
Summary
Salmonella Typhi are human-specific bacteria that are transmitted by the fecal-oral route. Acute Salmonella infections mainly present with gastrointestinal symptoms. Symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, cough, sore throat, and occasional constipation can be observed. Ten to fifteen percent of patients may develop complications. Acute acalculous cholecystitis and acute hemorrhagic cystitis due to Salmonella Typhi are a very rare clinical condition [1,2,3,4]. We report a case of acute acalculous cholecystitis and acute hemorrhagic cystitis due to Salmonella Typhi
