[Extra-intestinal infections caused by non-typhi Salmonella serotypes. 9 yrs' experience].

Abstract

Extraintestinal non typhoid Salmonella serotypes infections make up 1.8% of all salmonellosis and most of them occur in childhood or in the elderly. Transitory bacteraemias in the context of acute gastroenteritis occur mainly in children. The greatest risk of acquiring focal infections is associated with the existence of underlying illness or immunodepression.
