AB Among the opportunistic infections observed during infection with human
immunodeficiency virus, recurrent non-typhoid salmonella bacteriemia has
not been widely documented in Black Africa. This retrospective study
identified 5 cases of non-typhoid salmonellosis in a series of 27
seropositive patients, i.e. 18.5%, hospitalized over a two-year period
in an internal medicine department in Senegal. All 27 patients presented
general or digestive manifestations and were in the stage of full-blown
AIDS. The diagnosis was salmonella septicemia in 60% of cases. The
incidence of salmonella is higher in immunocompromised patients than in
healthy subjects, particularly in Africa. These infections frequently
lead to bacteriemia, have a strong tendency to recur, and are highly
indicative of immunodeficiency. Salmonellosis which is curable should be
suspected in seropositive African patients presenting general and/or
digestive manifestations.
