Presse Medicale (Paris, France : 1983)

|April 12, 1986

Summary

Salmonella infections and schistosomiasis (bilharziasis) show close interactions in children. Co-infection with Schistosoma intercalatum significantly increases the risk and severity of salmonella septicaemia.

Context:

A study in Libreville, Gabon, investigated co-infections in 118 children.
Typhoid-like salmonella septicaemia was the focus, with a high prevalence of bilharziasis.

Purpose:

To demonstrate the close interaction between salmonellae and Schistosoma intercalatum.
To assess the impact of bilharziasis on salmonella septicaemia in children.

Summary:

Bilharziasis was confirmed in 76% of children with salmonella septicaemia, compared to 38% in controls (P < 0.001).
Minor Salmonella species were identified in 26/42 cases.
Bilharziasis prolonged salmonella infection in 1 in 3 patients, suggesting adherence of salmonella to Schistosoma species.

Impact:

Highlights the significant association between Salmonella and Schistosoma intercalatum infections.
Suggests that concomitant treatment of both infections is necessary for effective management.
Underscores the importance of considering co-infections in clinical settings, particularly in endemic areas.
