[Salmonellosis in children in Ivory Coast, (A study on 69 cases) (author's transl)].
Salmonellosis are still endemic in Ivory Coast. In 1975 they were responsible for 1,75 p. 100 of the admittances in the pediatric department of Treichville University Hospital. In children, the conventional distinction between major and minor salmonellosis is not always obvious. Interpretation of Widal sero-diagnosis is often difficult and awkward. Chloramphenicol generally leads to satisfactory evolution. Salmonellosis are still a problem for Public Health Service. Immunization, is the only effective prophylaxis, but is not carried out yet in Ivory Coast.
