[Excretion of Salmonella in feces during the 1st 3 months of life].
30 children were followed up during their first three months of life, in order to determinate the moment for Salmonella excretion through feces. Five samples were taken during first month, and 3 samples in the next 2 months each. S. enteritidis was isolated in 10 children (33.3%), 4 of which were positive in 1 sample, and the others in more than one. From 330 samples (11 by child), in 24 (7.27%) Salmonella was isolated. We pointed out the fact of the isolation of the bacteria so early, and the role as a symptomatic carrier this child could play.
