1/8. Post-coronary artery bypass surgery pericardial abscess: salmonella paratyphi b.Endemic enteric fever is one of the major health problems in South asia where focal pyogenic infections with salmonella are being increasingly reported. A pericardial abscess following coronary artery bypass surgery with salmonella paratyphi b was successfully treated, the first reported case so far.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = salmonella (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/8. salmonella paratyphi c osteomyelitis: report of two separate episodes 17 years apart.osteomyelitis secondary to salmonella infection is well documented in the literature. Infection in more than one focus has also been described. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of recurrent osteomyelitis in a normal host (a 35-year-old man) with the same organism (S. paratyphi C) in different sites 17 years apart.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = salmonella (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/8. Reversible encephalopathy secondary to paratyphoid infection and concomitant acute Hepatitis A.Reversible encephalopathy has been described in association with typhoid fever as well as nontyphoidal salmonella infections. A diagnostic dilemma as to the cause of encephalopathy may arise when there is coexistent acute viral hepatitis and suspicion of fulminant liver failure. The authors report a patient who presented with acute icteric hepatitis A infection and a concomitant febrile illness due to Salmonella paratyphi associated with progressive encephalopathy and coma. The young man developed high-grade fever and coma. Concomitant infection with S. paratyphi was diagnosed and the patient's encephalopathy resolved rapidly with antibiotic therapy. This is the first report of a putative association of S. paratyphi infection and reversible encephalopathy. Salmonella and hepatitis a virus infection are both transmitted via the fecal-oral route, and awareness of this association is important in the management of such patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = salmonella (Clic here for more details about this article) |

Isolation of salmonella paratyphi a from thyroid abscess--a case report.S. paratyphi A isolated from aberrant site i.e. thyroid abscess which is an unusual manifestation of focal salmonella infection. It is reported for its rare complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = salmonella (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/8. Diffuse abdominal gallium-67 citrate uptake in salmonella infections.Two pediatric patients with salmonella infections (one with typhoid fever and the second with salmonella C2 gastroenteritis), had a diffuse abdominal uptake of Ga-67 citrate. The possible explanation for this finding is discussed. Salmonella infection should be included as a cause in the differential diagnosis of diffuse accumulation of Ga-67 citrate.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = salmonella (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/8. Treatment of typhoid fever and other systemic salmonelloses with cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefoperazone, and other newer cephalosporins.Third-generation cephalosporins have been considered for the treatment of systemic salmonelloses because of emerging resistance among Salmonella species to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Twelve patients with typhoid/paratyphoid fever, nine with nontyphoid salmonella bacteremia, and two with Salmonella meningitis were treated with cefotaxime; one leukemic patient with Salmonella dublin bacteremia received ceftizoxime. All infections were cured except for one in a patient with sickle cell anemia; this patient's illness recurred but was cured with a second course of cefotaxime followed by ceftriaxone. A review of the literature documented cures with cefotaxime in 50 of 61 patients with typhoid/paratyphoid fever, all of four with salmonella osteomyelitis, 12 of 14 with salmonella meningitis, and 44 of 49 with non-typhoid salmonella bacteremia. ceftriaxone and cefoperazone cured, respectively, 23 of 25 and 32 of 33 patients with typhoid/paratyphoid fever. The relapse rates of typhoid fever treated with cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, and cefoperazone were 6%, 4%, and 0%, respectively. cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, and cefoperazone are acceptable alternative antibiotics for the treatment of salmonelloses caused by multiresistant organisms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = salmonella (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/8. arthritis associated with salmonella infection.Six cases of arthritis caused by or associated with Salmonella infection are reported. It is stated that an arthritis associated with a Salmonella infection cannot be excluded on the negative results of the Widal test. Consequent upon Salmonella infection two different types of arthritis might develop: a) monoarticular infectious arthritis or b) a subacute reactive oligo-articular arthritis. In this study a patient with a chronic destructive "reactive" oligoarthritis is described, resembling experimental "Salmonella-associated arthritis" in rats. This form of arthritis might be regarded as an immune complex mediated disease associated with a chronic infection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = salmonella (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/8. salmonella paratyphi a induced pancytopenia--a new association.A case of salmonella paratyphi a fever with reversible pancytopenia in a 15 years old boy who presented with history of high grade continuous fever, epistaxis and haemoptysis, relative bradycardia and splenomegaly is described here. A brief review of the literature on possible causes of reversible pancytopenia in this case is also discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = salmonella (Clic here for more details about this article) |
