1/7. An outbreak of multiple-drug-resistant Salmonella enteritis from raw milk.In early 1983, an outbreak of illness caused by raw milk contaminated with multiple-antimicrobial-resistant salmonella typhimurium occurred in arizona. One of the cases involved a 72-year-old woman who died with Salmonella enteritis and sepsis that had not responded to treatment with chloramphenicol. The S typhimurium isolates from this patient, from other ill persons, and from raw milk were resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin sulfate, streptomycin, sulfonamide, and tetracycline. These resistances were mediated by a 105-megadalton R plasmid. During the epidemic period, 43% of the S typhimurium isolates submitted to the arizona Department of health services were resistant to chloramphenicol, and 80% of these possessed the same plasmid resistance. Although there was evidence of spread of the S typhimurium in the community, there was no evidence of spread of this Salmonella R plasmid to the normal flora of patients or their family members a median of 14 weeks after the infection. This outbreak demonstrates the ability of drug-resistant Salmonella to spread from the animal to the human reservoir and, in a suitable host, produce a fatal infection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = enteritis (Clic here for more details about this article) |

3/7. Chronic Salmonella eimsbuettel septicaemia presenting with intermittent sweats and haematuria.An unusual presentation is reported of salmonellosis, frank haematuria and chronic septicaemia arising during an outbreak of food poisoning caused by Salmonella eimsbuettel. The patient whose gut was colonized gave a history of chronic pyrexia and weight loss and suffered an intermittent urinary infection but had no gastroenteritis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = enteritis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/7. Salmonella gastroenteritis--another cause of erythema nodosum.Although there are many causes and associations of erythema nodosum, it remains a useful sign often giving a clue to the diagnosis of a puzzling illness. It is therefore important for clinicians to be aware of all the possible causes and associations. The following report is of a patient in whom typical erythema nodosum developed during the course of severe salmonella gastroenteritis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = enteritis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/7. Systemic infections in three infants due to a lactose-fermenting strain of Salmonella virchow.Three previously healthy children developed gastroenteritis which led within a few days to systemic infections, two cases of bacteremia and one of meningitis. A lactose-fermenting Salmonella virchow strain was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid and blood cultures. In one case, this strain was also isolated from stool cultures. All the children had been fed the same milk formula. There was no other relationship between them. The batch of dried-milk formula was confirmed as the source of the infection by isolation of an identical lactose-fermenting Salmonella virchow strain by the Centro Nacional de Alimentacion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = enteritis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/7. Bartholin's abscess complicating food poisoning with Salmonella panama: a case report.A patient is presented who developed an acute Bartholin's abscess four weeks after an attack of Salmonella panama enteritis. Aspirate from the abscess also grew Salmonella panama, indistinguishable from the gut isolate in serotype and antigenic structure (1 9, 12: 1, v: 1,5). Some aspects of the microbiology of Bartholin's abscess and its clinical management are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = enteritis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/7. Transient radiological and colonoscopic features of inflammatory bowel disease in a patient with severe Salmonella gastroenteritis.Salmonella is the most commonly reported cause of food-borne outbreaks of gastroenteritis. We report a case of a severe and toxic form of enteritis caused by salmonella enteritidis. Findings of colonoscopy, an upper G1 tract series, and small bowel follow-through were consistent with those of inflammatory bowel disease, but the enteritis was self-limited, and the patient recovered after supportive treatment only and has remained well.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = enteritis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
