Salmonella enteritidis urinary infection associated with polycystic renal disease.
Extraintestinal infection from non-typhoidal Salmonellae is uncommon and infection in the urine is particularly rare. We report a patient with polycystic renal disease and diabetes mellitus who developed a urinary infection due to Salmonella enteritidis following presumed enteric infection. Isotope white cell scanning demonstrated active infection in the left kidney.
