Puerperal Breast Abscess due to Salmonella Typhi from a Tertiary Care Hospital
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Breast abscess in full term pregnancy is challenging due to the changed anatomy and physiology of the breast. Management of these abscesses would require critical clinical evaluation especially if the infecting organism is Salmonella typhi. Since there is a potential risk of Salmonella Typhi being excreted in milk, the babies may require weaning because Salmonella Typhi can behave dangerously in new borns. In geographical locations of endemic Typhi infections, establishing causal relationship would be absolutely essential and Salmonella Typhi included in the list of differential causes. Breast abscess investigation protocol would require re-look to incorporate culture of expressed milk sample along with conventional samples.
