title: [Salmonella food poisoning treated at the Infectious Disease Clinic, Institute of Internal Medicine, Medical Academy, in Cracow 1983-1986].
abstract: In the years 1983-1986 in the Department of Infectious Diseases Medical Academy in Cracow 189 adult patients were treated for salmonellosis. A significant rise was noted in the number of cases in recent years. The most frequent pathogen was Salmonella enteritidis. The clinical pattern of salmonellosis was similar to that described in preceding years. The disease was associated with increased urea level and decreased sodium level in serum, appearance of young cell forms in white blood cell count, and acetonuria. Most convalescents were discharged with positive results of stool cultures.
