title: [Salmonella bacteremia and generalized cryptococcosis, a double indicator of African AIDS].
abstract: A male Rwandese adult with proven A.I.D.S. died from generalized cryptococcosis six months after episodes of recurrent fever with isolation of Salmonella enteritidis from the blood culture. The authors discuss the frequent and precocious appearance of Salmonella septicaemia in patients with A.I.D.S. They propose the inclusion of nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteraemia in the provisional W.H.O. case definition of adult A.I.D.S. in countries with limited diagnostic resources.
