[Sonography in salmonella enterocolitis].
27 patients suffering from salmonella enterocolitis--24 proven by stool cultures, 3 confirmed serologically--were examined for ultrasound findings. In 81% the left side gut wall was concentrically thickened up to 7 mm (5-11). Further sonographic findings were: Less demarcated gut wall layers in 33%, hypoechoic gut wall in 48%, polypoid mucosa thickening in 33%. In individual cases enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes, splenomegaly, and ascites were seen. Sonographic changes correlated well with clinical results in respect of the intensity of the illness.
