Liver abscesses are occasionally reported in Salmonella typhi infections, they are a very rare complication of Salmonella paratyphi infections. A 28 year old male patient without any prior medical history presented with fever, abdominal pain and a tender hepatomegaly. The imaging studies revealed multiple liver abscesses and an ultrasound (US) guided aspiration of the abscess yielded heavy growth of Salmonella paratyphi A. He was treated successfully by percutaneous drainage of the abscesses and appropriate antibiotics.
