There are two types of salmonella, typhoidal and non-typhodial. Non-typhoidal salmonellosis refer to illnesses caused by all serotypes of Salmonella, excluding Typhi, Paratyphi A, Paratyphi B and Paratyphi C [1, 2, and 4]. Non-typhoidal salmonellae cause food borne illness [1, 2]. Also can seed any anatomical site hematogenously. Extra-intestinal manifestations of non-typhoid Salmonella accounts for less than 1% of the reported cases [1, 2]. Here we have a case of 40 year old male with chest wall abscess caused by salmonellosis leading to osteomyelitis.
