Abstract:
Renal abscesses are relatively uncommon in children, and usually due to Gram-negative rods or Staphylococcus aureus , whereas abscesses caused by Salmonella are very rare. Case presentation We present the case of a previously healthy 10-year-old boy who had a renal abscess due to Salmonella bareilly. He responded well to treatment with antibiotics, and computed tomography (CT)-guided drainage of the abscess. His blood, urine and abscess aspirate cultures were sterile, but a broad-range 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay of the aspirate followed by analysis of four Salmonella genes ( fliC , fliD , sopE2 , and spaO ) identified S . bareilly as the causative agent. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of renal abscess caused by S. bareilly.
