Abstract
In AIDS patients, non-typhoid salmonella metastatic abscesses in lung and brain due to bacteremia have ben described previously, Here we present a case in which a group B Salmonella, serotype Copenhagen, caused right parietal subdural empyema, The etiologic diagnosis was based on culture of pus obtained from the lesion. The patient was treated for bacterial meningitis and made a good recovery. He is at present reasonably well and is taking ciprofloxacin as prophylaxis against salmonella relapse.
