[Analysis of 805 children with Salmonellae infection].
We analyzed 805 children with Salmonellae infection admitted during 1981-1991. 353 of them had typhoid fever. Most of the children were over 3 years old and came from rural area. One child died. Those under 3 years of age had non-typhoid Salmonellae infection, manifesting as enteritis pattern; most sepsis patterns were seen in neonates. S. typhimurium was often seen Salmonellae infection, S. agona came next, and S. derby the third. Salmonellae infection varied, including 7 serum groups and 25 serum types. S. typhimurium and S. agona were drug resistant, with severe carrier status. Infants and young children are very liable the infection, therefore, will be the main subjects of prevention.
