Salmonella dublin arthritis: an initial case presentation.

Salmonella dublin is a rare pathogen in man usually causing an enteric fever syndrome. We report a 32-year-old black male who developed septic polyarthritis with Salmonella dublin. The clinical features are similar to those seen with other Salmonella serotypes reported to cause arthritis. The initial presentation is suggestive of a reactive arthritis that is immunologically mediated.
