Chronically infected diabetic wounds have a polyrn'crobial aetiology. However. Salmonella Paratyphi A is a very rare cause of wound infection. A 76-year-old female patient with type II diabetes presented with a wound on the left leg of two months' duration. The wound was painful, erythematous and a thick, foul-smelling discharge was present. There was a history of delayed wound healing. Salmonella Paratyphi A and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from the wound tissue. The patient was treated with cefuroxime and cloxacillin empirically and following the antibiotic susceptibility'testing (ABST) report, ciprofloxacin was given for 10 days. The wound was treated with multiple debridements and topical antiseptic. On follow-up, the patient remained afebrile with subsiding discharge from the ulcer, This is the first reported case of Salmonella Paratyphi A from an infected diabetic ulcer in Sri Lanka and it serves to further define the spectrum of illnesses caused by this uncommon pathogen. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z Spectrum and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Bacterial Pathogens Isolated from Cancer Patients Who Were on Empirical Antibiotic Therapy at a Tertiary Care Institute, Sri Lanka http://dr.lib.sjp.ac.lk/handle/123456789/8894 Spectrum and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Bacterial Pathogens Isolated from Cancer Patients Who Were on Empirical Antibiotic Therapy at a Tertiary Care Institute, Sri Lanka Chathuranga, G; Dissanayake, T; Fernando, N; Wanigatunge, C 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z Statins and liver toxicity among patients awaiting Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery: A preliminary observation http://dr.lib.sjp.ac.lk/handle/123456789/8448 Statins and liver toxicity among patients awaiting Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery: A preliminary observation Bandara, E.M.S.; Ekanayake, S.; Kapuruge, A.D.; Wanigatunge, C.A.; ; ; Attached 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Reasons for primary sub-fertility among aouples attending sub-fertility clinics two government hospitals http://dr.lib.sjp.ac.lk/handle/123456789/8447 Reasons for primary sub-fertility among aouples attending sub-fertility clinics two government hospitals Hewabatage, P.N.; Gunawardhana, L.K.M.P.; Gunarathna, M.K.N.S.; Bandara, E.M.S.; De Silva, B.S.S Attached 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
