Salmonella Ovarian Abscess in a Patient With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Presented as Acute Abdomen: a Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

A Salmonella ovarian abscess is a rare entity, and is similarly uncommon in cases with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. To the best of our knowledge, thirty four cases of Salmonella ovarian abscess have been published in the literature, and only four of them were related to Systemic Lupus Eritematosus. Our aim is to review this clinical entity using information from our own experience as well as that from published cases. © 2020, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.
