It is usually transmitted through contaminated food and water. The disease usually manifests as a febrile illness with bacteraemia after the initial entry through the gastrointestinal tract. However, extraintestinal seeding of this pathogen can occur in rare instances. Here, we report a case of chocolate cysts of the ovaries which was infected with Salmonella Paratyphi A in a sexually active woman with a previous history of enteric fever that was neglected. We review the key features of this case and the last literature on ovarian abscess due to Salmonella sp.\n- Salmonella\n- Obstetrics, gynaecology and fertility\nStatistics from Altmetric.com\nFootnotes\nContributors The following authors were responsible for drafting the text, sourcing and editing of clinical images, investigating results, drawing original diagrams and algorithms, and for critical revision of important intellectual content: MB and AM.
