Abstract

Endometriotic cyst infection is rare and typically associated with invasive pelvic procedures or pelvic inflammatory disease. We present a case of a 34-year-old nulligravida female with no recent surgical or gynaecological interventions, who developed acute abdominal pain due to a ruptured endometriotic cyst infected with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. This case underscores the potential for hematogenous spread of infection and the importance of considering infected endometriomas in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.
