Chest Wall Abscess

Sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis results from hematogenous spread of a bacterial infection, usually in the immunocompromised. It commonly presents as a chest wall abscess. Cervical abscess resulting from sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis is a rare complication with only one reported case in the English literature. We describe a case of sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis in an elderly diabetic adult with cervical abscess as initial presentation.

Introduction. Septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular (SC) joint is a rare condition. Typically, it presents in patients with risk of infection and is usually unilateral. In this report, we describe a case of spontaneous bilateral sternoclavicular joint infection of an otherwise healthy adult. Case Presentation. A 67-year-old man presented in our hospital complaining of 2-week history of neck and chest pain which was radiating to his shoulders bilaterally. Clinical examination revealed erythema and swelling of the sternoclavicular area. Inflammatory markers were raised. Image investigation with CT and MRI was undertaken and verified the presence of bilateral sternoclavicular joint infection. The patient received prolonged course of intravenous antibiotics since his admission. The patient was discharged in a good condition and followed up in clinic. Conclusion. High index of clinical suspicion of SC joint infection is important for early diagnosis to avoid further complications.

Uncommon Condition

Septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint is an uncommon condition, and the diagnosis can be missed until a complication occurs. The sternoclavicular joint is more often involved in ankylosing spondylitis, degenerative arthritic conditions (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis), and primary and secondary metastatic conditions. The patient described in this case report came to the otolaryngology department on two occasions for treatment of a unilateral cutaneous neck abscess. The correct diagnosis was not made until the second visit. The author reviews the clinical course, diagnosis, and treatment of this uncommon disease.

There are two types of salmonella, typhoidal and non-typhodial. Non-typhoidal salmonellosis refer to illnesses caused by all serotypes of Salmonella, excluding Typhi, Paratyphi A, Paratyphi B and Paratyphi C [1, 2, and 4]. Non-typhoidal salmonellae cause food borne illness [1, 2]. Also can seed any anatomical site hematogenously. Extra-intestinal manifestations of non-typhoid Salmonella accounts for less than 1% of the reported cases [1, 2]. Here we have a case of 40 year old male with chest wall abscess caused by salmonellosis leading to osteomyelitis.
