Abstract
Background Renal abscesses are relatively uncommon in children, and usually due to Gram-negative rods or Staphylococcus aureus, whereas abscesses caused by Salmonella are very rare. Case presentation We present the case of a previously healthy 10-year-old boy who had a renal abscess due to Salmonella bareilly. He responded well to treatment with antibiotics, and computed tomography (CT)-guided drainage of the abscess. His blood, urine and abscess aspirate cultures were sterile, but a broad-range 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay of the aspirate followed by analysis of four Salmonella genes (fliC, fliD, sopE2, and spaO) identified S. bareilly as the causative agent. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of renal abscess caused by S. bareilly.
