A comprehensive review of disseminated Salmonella arizona infection with an illustrative case presentation

Jeffrey B Hoag et al. South Med J. 2005 Nov.

Abstract

Salmonella arizona is known to cause infection in reptiles and other animals. Disseminated human infection is rare, except in the setting of a deficient immune system. The following is a unique account of disseminated infection including pericardial involvement. Unusual features include nonreptile vector transmission and eastern seaboard (rather than southwestern) locale. A comprehensive literature review of disseminated S arizona infections is presented describing the types of infection, sources of exposure, underlying conditions, locale, treatments, and outcomes.
