Abstract
S. typhus considered to beau uncommon cause for acute acalculous cholecystitis in many regions of the world. 2—4% of adult patients with typhoid fever become chronic carriers and some of the carriers have no clear history of typhoid fever (3). Cholecystectogy is advocated as adjuvant to medical treatment for typhoid carriers (3). Nontyphoid salmonellae, are even more rare pathogens. S. oranienberg constitutes only 7.4% of the Nontyphoid salmonellae reported in carrier (7). Bonta and Lovinggood (1) reported one case of acute acalculous cholecystitis caused by S. oranienberg in a child. Main (6) reported one case caused by S. paratyphi, Craig and Mark (2) reported another case caused by S. indiana, and here we report another case of acalculous cholecystitis caused by S. oranienbeg.
