Abstract

Non-typhoidal Salmonella infections, which rarely present with multiple complications, are predominantly seen in immunocompromised patients. In particular, non-typhoidal Salmonella infections presenting with more than two complications are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of an infected pseudoaneurysm in the aortic arch caused by a non-typhoidal Salmonella species complicated by pleural empyema, pericarditis, pericardial empyema, and mediastinitis. To our knowledge, this is the first such case report in Korea.
