title: [Antisalmonellal agglutination in liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis].
abstract: A positive serum diagnosis for Salmonellae was obtained in 7 patients with cirrhosis of the liver and 18 with chronic hepatitis (22 males and 3 females), even though their history was negative and they had not even been vaccinated against thyphus and paratyphus. The results are seen as a warning that laboratory data that might lead to a mistaken diagnosis and incorrect treatment should be interpreted with particular care.
