Acute appendicitis is one of the most common acute abdominal emergencies around the world, which is always associated with infection. Infection with Salmonella typhi , an enteric pathogen, is a rare cause of acute appendicitis. We here report a patient with acute appendicitis associated with Samonella typhi infection, accompanied with spleen and kidney infarction, providing a rare example for a common surgical emergency.
