Salmonella species have recently been shown to involve the colon in a fashion resembling ulcerative colitis by radiographic and endoscopic appearance. The presentation of Salmonella colitis is usually similar to that of ulcerative colitis; and often leads to delayed or inappropriate management. Furthermore, Salmonella infection and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can coincide in the same patient. Salmonella colitis in the setting of undiagnosed underlying IBD can present a diagnostic dilemma for the clinician. We report a case of Salmonella colitis in which the radiographic and colonoscopic findings were similar to those of ulcerative colitis.
