Serotypes Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi are restricted to human host in whom these organism cause enteric fever. The remaining non-typhoidal salmonella often cause gastroenteritis and can be associated with bacteremia and localized suppurative infection. We report a case of neck abscess caused by Salmonella Typhi. A 40 yrs. diabetic male patient presented with painful swelling on a left side of neck. Patient had past history of fever before 2 months with positive Widal test. On culture the pus yielded pure growth of Salmonella Typhi. Blood culture was negative. Patient responded to incision and drainage and Ceftriaxone treatment. [Kombade S NJIRM 2014; 5(5):118-119]
