Case report: salmonellosis complicated by leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
We report the case of a healthy young Hispanic man with Salmonella typhimurium bacteremia and leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis has not been previously reported as a complication of salmonella gastroenteritis and bacteremia. Salmonella gastroenteritis is rarely associated with bacteremia in healthy young adults.
