Salmonella infection and the genitourinary system
Abstract:
Six cases of severe salmonella genitourinary infection and a case of salmonella septicemia after prostatectomy are reported. The mechanism whereby the urinary tract is involved in salmonellosis is described, as are the different manifestations of genitourinary salmonellosis. Host factors predisposing to the development of genitourinary salmonella infection include other urologic pathology, malignant neoplasms and states of depressed immunity. Recommendations are made with regard to the diagnosis and management of this sometimes lethal condition.
