Ludwig's angina by Salmonella Typhi: A clinical dilemma

RK Mahajan, S Sharma, P Madan, N SharmaIndian Journal of Medical Microbiology 2015 33(2):300-302Salmonella Typhi has rarely been associated with focal abscesses; and in literature, there is no evidence of its association with abscesses in the neck spaces.
