Abstract
A patient is presented who developed an acute Bartholin's abscess four weeks after an attack of Salmonella panama enteritis. Aspirate from t he abscess also grew Salmonella panama, indistinguishable from the gut isolate in serotype and antigenic structure (1 9, 12: 1, v: 1,5). Som e aspects of the microbiology of Bartholin's abscess and its clinical management are discussed.
