We describe a case of a Salmonella typhimurium mediastinal abscess in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Patients with SLE are predisposed to nontyphoidal salmonella infection with a high incidenceof bacteraemiaand abscessformation.Our case is the first report of a mediastinalabscess from Salmonella typhimurium in an SLE patient and highlights the need for thorough assessment and treatment of SLE patients who have this organism identified.

Key Words: abscess • infection • mediastinal • Salmonella typhimurium • systemic lupus erythematosus
