An outbreak of Salmonella food poisoning affected 12 persons attending a home dinner in Riyadh on January 10, 1980. The clinical manifestations were mild in 3 of the patients and severe in the other 9. The incubation period ranged between 14 and 32 h with an average of 18 h. The illness lasted 3-4
OBJECTIVE
To study whether HLA-B27 modifies the outcome of Salmonella infection in vivo.
METHODS
The frequency of HLA-B27 was determined in 198 Salmonella-infected patients and 100 healthy controls by immunofluorescence and polymerase chain reaction. The excretion of Salmonella was monitored at
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the differences in clinical features and laboratory findings between group D and non-group D non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) gastroenteritis in children.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review of children diagnosed with NTS confirmed by culture study was performed. The clinical
Non-enteric salmonella infections in immunocompetent adults are exceedingly rare in the United States, and meningitis is one of the least common extra-intestinal sites. In addition, it is very unusual for a patient with bacterial meningitis to present with classic meningitis signs and symptoms of >
BACKGROUND
Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of foodborne infections worldwide and includes more than 2500 different serovars, causing primarily gastroenteritis. However, the infection may occur elsewhere and produce characteristic clinical syndromes. Meningitis is a rare complication that
We report a case of fulminant hepatic failure associated with Salmonella paratyphi A infection, in a 29-year-old patient who was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with fever of two days, headache and vomiting followed by behavioural changes and disorientation. On examination, the patient
We studied characteristics of ocular inflammation in Reiter's disease after Salmonella enteritis in eight patients. After an acute onset with diarrhea, fever in six patients, and headache in three patients, all patients developed arthritis; six patients had myalgia; six patients, urethritis; and one
BACKGROUND
Pyogenic infections of the sacroiliac joint are observed quite rarely. The most frequent causative microorganisms are Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus species, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa that are commonly found in patients under intravenous medication. In this paper, a rare
A previously healthy 43-y-old man, who had spent 2 weeks in northern India, was admitted to hospital after a 2-day history of pyrexia, confusion and frontal headache. Cranial computerized tomography (CT) showed an abscess in the right parietal lobe. Spinal fluid and blood cultures gave growth of
BACKGROUND
Dengue fever is endemic in developing nations worldwide with as many as 500,000 annual cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). A prompt and accurate diagnosis early in the disease course is essential for prompt identification and treatment of severe
Enteric fevers are caused by invasive strains of Salmonella. Classic enteric fever is caused by S. typhi and usually less severe enteric fevers are caused by S. paratyphi A, B, or C. We present a case of S. paratyphi A enteric fever aseptic meningitis. Headache was so prominent in the case presented
Twenty-seven cases of enteric fever were diagnosed between January 1961 and February 1977 at a medium-sized urban hospital. Nineteen of the patients had recently travelled abroad. Fever was the only constant finding, and four patients noted fever and headache as their only symptoms. Splenomegaly was
BACKGROUND
Infections due to nontyphoidal Salmonella have increased worldwide over the last couple of decades. Salmonella enterica serotype Blockley (Salmonella Blockley) infections is associated with chickens and is a rarely isolated serotype in human infections in most countries.
METHODS
We report
Vaccination against Salmonella Typhi is one of the leading public health interventions reducing the risk of typhoid fever. There are two available licensed vaccines, Vivotif, oral live-attenuated, and Typhim Vi, intramuscular Vi capsular polysaccharide. The US military is a high risk travel
