Abstract

Non-Typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) infection typically causes gastroenteritis. Rarely, it can lead to focal or invasive infections including pyelonephritis. Transplant recipients are at increased risk of infection with typical and atypical organisms. We present a case of NTS pyelonephritis with renocutaneous fistula formation in a renal transplant recipient. This case presents important surgical issues and a rare potential focus of infection in transplant recipients.
