OBJECTIVES: To classify non-typhoidal salmonella bacteraemia according to clinical presentation, and to study how this correlates with the presence of underlying immunosuppression.
METHODS: We analysed data collected prospectively for all 82 cases of non-typhoidal salmonella bacteraemia presenting to St. Thomas' Hospital between 1970 and 1999.
RESULTS: Patients presented with one of three syndromes: diarrhoea, an extra-intestinal focus of infection, or isolated fever with no focus. Only 18% of those with diarrhoea had underlying immunosuppression, compared with 80% of those with extra-intestinal focal infections (P= 0.001) and 80% of those with no focus (P= 0.0001). There was no significant association between salmonella serotype and underlying immunosuppression. Salmonella enteritidis isolates, especially phage type 4, increased significantly during the last decade (P= 0.001). The presentation of non-typhoidal salmonella bacteraemia in the absence of diarrhoea prompted the diagnosis of HIV in two patients.
CONCLUSION: Underlying immunosuppression should be excluded in patients presenting with non-typhoidal salmonella bacteraemia in the absence of gastroenteritis. This may lead to an earlier diagnosis of HIV.
