Salmonelloses in children with proliferative haematological diseases.
The infections caused by salmonella organisms in children with acute leukaemias are reported. Immunity depression caused by the main diseases as well as by immunosuppressing drugs lead in such cases to generalized infections with these organisms or local infections which were found in the reported cases in the skeletal system, or central nervous system. The course of these infections was very severe, often with lethal outcome.
