Mimostřevní salmonelové infekce

EXTRAINTESTINAL SALMONELLA INFECTIONS Extraintestinal focal infection is not frequent, but clinically very important presentation of salmonellic gastroenteritis. Invasive salmonellic infection is jeopardy for patients with impaired immunity. Author’s overview warns from the most frequent extraintestinal salmonellic infections (primary bacteraemia, secondary enteritis-induced bacteraemia, digestive focal infection, non-digestive focal infection) and with two case reports shows possible diagnostic and therapeutic problems. With regards to greater susceptibility to extraintestinal invasive forms in patients with immunodeficiency author alerts to new syndrome “Mendel susceptibility to mycobacterial infection” (MIM syndrome), which presents in patients as increased susceptibility to BCG, non-tuberculosis mycobacteria or Salmonella sp. induced infections. Key words: extraintestinal salmonellic infections, salmonellic encephalopathy, salomonellic arthritis.
