Abstract :

Salmonella urinary tract infections (UTIs) are rare. Salmonella Typhi bacteriuria, an unusual finding, can be seen following a recent episode of typhoid fever, or in chronic carrier state involving the urinary system, especially with local abnormalities of urinary tract. We report a rare case of Salmonella urinary tract infection in a young male patient having bladder dysfunction with vesico–ureteric reflux with history of fulguration for posterior urethral valves in his childhood, not reported so far to the best of our knowledge.
