Nontyphoidal Salmonella Hepatitis: A Rare Complication of a Common Enteric Infection

Hepatitis from nontyphoidal <i>Salmonella</i> gastroenteritis is rare, especially in immunocompetent patients. We present the case of a 30-year-old woman who was found to have <i>Salmonella</i> serotype C2 gastroenteritis and elevated liver function tests concerning for concurrent hepatitis. An extensive workup was negative for other etiologies, making <i>Salmonella</i> the likely culprit. The patient was managed with supportive measures as her liver function tests and symptoms were improving before obtaining microbiological data. Since the role of antibiotic therapy in such cases is not well studied, disease severity in accordance with current guidelines should be used to tailor treatment on a case-by-case basis.
