Extensively drug-resistant Salmonella Typhi leading to relapsed urinary tract infection: A case report.

Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (S Typhi) associated urinary tract infections are exceedingly rare, accounting for less than 1% of cases. Such infections have known to occur in immune-compromised or individuals with urogenital structural abnormalities. With the emergence of extensively drug resistant S Typhi strains in Pakistan, the management of its various unique presentations poses therapeutic challenges. We report the first documented case of a 74 years old male patient presenting with relapsed urinary tract infection secondary to extensively drug resistant S Typhi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
