Abstract

A 43-year old man with alcohol abuse had septicaemia with Salmonella enteritidis. After osteosynthesis of an intertrochanteric femoral fracture he developed a deep wound infection with Salmonella enteritidis. The patient was treated with surgical debridement and antibiotics. As a consequence of alcohol abuse the patient may have had a predisposing immunosuppression, and infection with Salmonella enteritidis should be considered in case of postoperative infection in these patients.
