This case report describes a middle-aged male pilot who presented with severe leg pain and was diagnosed with a thigh abscess. Microbiological analysis identified the causative agent as Salmonella enterica serotype Brandenburg, an unusual pathogen for this type of soft tissue infection. The authors highlight the rarity of extraintestinal salmonellosis manifesting as a localized abscess in an immunocompetent adult without a history of recent travel or specific exposure risks. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Salmonella enterica serotype Brandenburg is one of the more uncommon serotypes isolated from patients with gastroenteritis. Few cases of extraintestinal infections with serotype Brandenburg have been documented. The first case of a serotype Brandenburg-dependent thigh abscess originating from an atherosclerotic pseudoaneurysm of the femoral artery is reported.
