MENENDEZ, Alejandro et al. Fournier’s gangrene caused by Salmonella enteritidis. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2019, vol.111, n.1, pp.40-41. ISSN 2250-639X.

Fournier’s Gangrene is a severe perineal necrotizing fasciitis attributed to the synergistic action of various pathogens associated with host predisposing factors, such as immunosuppression. Although extraintestinal manifestations of salmonellosis have been described, its identification as a causative agent of soft tissue infections is infrequent and its involvement in the Fournier’s Gangrene is even less common. Our objective is to describe the presentation, management and outcome of a Fournier’s Gangrene case with positive cultures for Salmonella enteritidis.

Palavras-chave : Fournier’s Gangrene; Salmonella enteritidis; Necrotizing fasciitis.
