Enteric fever is endemic in India. Usually caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi and S. enterica serotype Paratyphi A. Enteric fever due to non-typhoidal Salmonellae is rare. We report an extremely rare case of enteric fever caused by S. enterica serotype Weltevreden in an HIV-positive 27-year-old male.

Typhoidal and nontyphoidal salmonella infections are common causes of gastroenteritis in the community. However, salmonella only rarely causes invasive infections like meningitis. We report a 13-day-old female neonate with signs and symptoms of meningitis whose cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture showed Salmonella enterica serotype Arizonae that was sensitive to ceftriaxone. She presented with fe...

Invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) are an important cause of septicemia in children under the age of five years in sub-Saharan Africa. A novel genotype of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (multi-locus sequence type [ST] 313) circulating in this geographic region is genetically different to from S. Typhimurium ST19 strains that are common throughout the rest of the w...

Among the infectious causes of pericarditis are various bacteria, viruses, fungal and parasitic infections. The course disease may progress to a chronic constrictive pattern especially with tubercular etiology. Non-typhoidal Salmonella has rarely been reported as a cause of pericarditis. We describe here a case from which the pericardial fluid from an old case of tubercular pericarditis sent fo...

INTRODUCTION A retrospective cohort study on Salmonella-associated diseases (SADs) was conducted in 14 public hospitals across Lagos State, Nigeria, between 1999 and 2008. METHODOLOGY Medical records of clinically diagnosed patients with confirmed Salmonella infections were reviewed for the 10-year period. Laboratory diagnosis of typhoid fever cases in all the hospitals were first based on Wi...

Soft tissue and superficial venous infections are uncommon extraintestinal manifestations of non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections. In contrast to affected adults, who usually show immunological impairment, the majority of children with extraintestinal NTS infections have no predisposing risk factors. Here, we report a previously healthy infant who developed hand abscess, phlebitis, bactere...

PURPOSE To report a case of endogenous endophthalmitis caused by the gram-negative bacterium Salmonella choleraesuis as a first sign of HIV infection in a patient from Thailand. METHOD Case description and literature review. RESULTS A 54-year-old male without systemic complaints developed non-painful panuveitis in his left eye accompanied by high intraocular pressure. On investigation, HIV ...

The use of mesh in the management of abdominal wall hernias has significantly reduced the incidences of hernia recurrences. The placement of synthetic meshes to reinforce the abdominal wall is not without caveats. Synthetic meshes are associated with a risk of infection. Common causative microorganisms for mesh-related infection range from a diversity of gram positive, gram negative and anaerob...

The South eastern region of Iran is an endemic area for salmonellosis. Sometimes bacteremia due to nontyphoidal salmonella occurs but certain patients are at increased risk for recurrent bacteremia. The risk of invasive salmonellosis and recurrent bacteremia is increased in the patients with immunosuppression, especially impaired cell-mediated immunity, lymphoproliferative diseases and in patie...

Introduction Infection of the gall-bladder is well described and occurs almost invariably in enteric fever caused by Salmonella typhi. Despite this, however, symptoms of acute cholecystitis occur in only 2% of cases (Stuart and Pullen, 1946). Systemic invasion is a much rarer sequel of infection with food poisoning Salmonella, and this has been associated with certain types, e.g. S. choleraesui...
