| Abstract | Five focal non typhoid salmonellosis (NTS) are reported in a group of 342 kidney transplant recipients. There is no relationship between the unusual presentation of NTS (septicemia, pneumonia, orchitis, prostatis, urinary tract infections) and the serotypes (S. typhi-murium, S. panama). With the therapeutic immunodepression, many host factors are important to induce the unusual presentation of NTS: major surgery, urologic abnormalities, preexisting uraemic state. The major importance of decreased host resistance is emphasized by the absence of relationship between death and bacterial resistance. The use of lysotypes exclude the role of an intrahospital contamination. |
