A Case of Salmonella Dublin Empyema Associated With Refractory Ulcerative Colitis and Colorectal Carcinoma

Non-typhi <i>Salmonella</i> infection rarely presents as <i>Salmonella</i> empyema. We report a case of a 71-year-old male with worsening left-sided pleuritic chest pain. A chest radiograph revealed a left-sided pleural effusion, and pleural fluid culture grew <i>Salmonella</i> Dublin. This occurred in the context of refractory ulcerative colitis and a subsequent diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma.
