Focal salmonella enteritidis infection of urinary tract.
A case of upper urinary tract infection with Salmonella enteritidis is presented. The patient was diabetic which may have resulted in diminished immunocompetence, but no other predisposing factor was uncovered. Thorough search for an extraurinary primary source of this infection was unrevealing. The implications of this type of infection are reviewed.
