Ovarian Endometrioma Superinfected With Salmonella : Case Report and Review of the Literature

<span class="paragraphSection"><div class="boxTitle">Abstract</div>We present the case of a 28-year-old woman with <span style="font-style:italic;">Salmonella</span> serovar Schwarzengrund gastroenteritis acquired during foreign travel. Her case was complicated by superinfection of a pre-existing ovarian endometrioma with a quinolone-resistant organism; the resultant ovarian abscess ultimately required surgical removal for resolution. We review the key features of this case and the previous literature on <span style="font-style:italic;">Salmonella</span> ovarian abscess. This report highlights (1) the potential for metastatic spread of <span style="font-style:italic;">Salmonella</span> to the ovary in women with pre-existing cysts or endometriomas and (2) the increasing worldwide burden of quinolone-resistant <span style="font-style:italic;">Salmonella</span>.</span>
