[A complicated course of Salmonella gastroenteritis during antihypertensive treatment].
Although Salmonella gastroenteritis usually is a fairly mild and self-limiting disease, serious complications are sometimes seen. We present a case that was further complicated by treatment with enalapril. We recommend discontinuation of treatment with ACE inhibitors in patients with any kind of ongoing gastroenteritis with fluid loss in order to prevent a potentially serious outcome.
