Abstract
Local abscess formation may occur as a complication of any Salmonella infection by either hematogenous or lymphatic spread but a tuboovarian site of Salmonella infection is rare. Mostly, predisposing factors such as ovarian abnormalities like dermoid cyst, endometrioma, cystadenoma, or simple cyst are present where hematogenously disseminated Salmonella tend to localize. A case of bilateral tuboovarian abscess due to Salmonella paratyphi A is being reported in a 36-year-old woman having multicystic ovaries to highlight the unusual presentation of this organism. In countries like India, where Salmonella infections are endemic, differential diagnosis of Salmonella should always be kept in mind by the clinicians while dealing with the tuboovarian abscesses because there is a possibility of Salmonella infection at aberrant sites, especially in patients with history of persistent fever or gastroenteritis or any preexisting abnormality that makes the tissue or organ vulnerable.
