Sonographically detected thickened small bowel in a case of paediatric Salmonella Typhimurium enteritis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: A five-year-old year old girl developed fever of 40.3° C, vomiting, mild general abdominal pain, followed by bloody diarrhea. Description: Ultrasonography revealed a length of symmetrically thickened terminal ileum, more than 20 cm long, with walls greater than 0.5 cm containing a long narrow lumen < 1 mm wide. Conclusion: Given the difficulty of diagnosing the cause of enteritis in young children, ultrasonography represents a simple, non invasive technique which may demonstrate suggestive mural thickening.

Background: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of the most important serovars of Salmonella enterica and is associated with human salmonellosis worldwide. Many epidemiological studies have focused on the characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium in many countries as well as in Asia. This study was conducted to investigate the genetic characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium using m...

Plasmids play an important role in the virulence and antibiotic resistance of Salmonella. Salmonella carry plasmids having different size and number. Plasmid profile analysis of single isolates of Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis revealed the presence of 4- plasmid profiles. Salmonella serovars produce several Type III secretions including Sop-E and Sop –B. Soap E is detected b...

متن کاملInhibition of type III secretion in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium by small-molecule inhibitors.
Type III secretion systems (T3SS) are conserved in many pathogenic gram-negative bacteria. Small molecules that specifically target T3SS in Yersinia and Chlamydia spp. have recently been identified. Here we show that two such compounds inhibit Salmonella T3SS-1, preventing secretion of T3SS-1 effectors, invasion of cultured epithelial cells, and enteritis in vivo.
