Meningitis due to non-typhi salmonella is infrequent in HIV-positive adults.We report a case of a patient with >300 CD4+ cells/mm3 who presented with five episodes of recurrent meningitis, focal subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral vasculitis ultimately attributed to Salmonella choleraesuis infection. Even within the cART era invasive salmonellosis can occur in unusual ways in HIV-infected pati...

Non-typhoidal salmonellosis has emerged as an invasive infection in industrialized countries. Bacteremia and pleuropulmonary involvement usually occur in the setting of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, malignancies and HIV. We present three cases of non-typhoidal salmonellosis in immunocompetent patients presenting over a year period. A 66-year-old female presented with septic shock. She was...

Salmonella enterica is a common cause of human food borne gastroenteritis and bacteremia worldwide. Salmonellosis is caused by different serotypes of salmonella; humans and animals are generally infected with these bacteria by the consumption of contaminated food products (1-3). Non-typhi salmonella gastroenteritis in contrast to the invasive salmonellosis that requires prompt antibiotic therap...

Reptile-associated salmonellosis (RAS) in children has been reported primarily due to direct contact with turtles, but recently also due to indirect contact with more exotic reptiles, causing disease in infants. To evaluate risk factors for RAS, we reviewed the RAS cases published in the literature since 1965. A case was defined as a child ≤18 years of age with an epidemiological link by identi...

Salmonella spp are an uncommon cause of lung abscess. A 59 year old man presented to our hospital with a 1 month history of cough and low grade fever progressing to high grade fever for 1 week. He had a past medical history significant for diabetes mellitus type 2 and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis for which he was receiving prednisolone, initially at 60 mg daily tapering to 20 mg daily. On...

Non-typhoidal salmonellae are important pathogens causing bacteraemia, especially in immunocompromised patients, but there are limited data explicitly describing the clinical characteristics and outcome in these individuals. Recurrent invasive salmonellosis has been recognised as an AIDS-defining condition in HIV-positive patients since the 1980s. Salmonella meningitis is an infrequent complica...

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...

objective: salmonellosis is a bacterial disease with a rising prevalence in the cattle industry. it is most common in dairy calves one to ten weeks of age. salmonellosis has a serious economic impact on the cattle industry worldwide. methods: in may 2013, a three months old male holstein calf with the history of lateral recumbency was referred to veterinary hospital with severe depression, cach...
