Delayed Salmonella bacteriuria in a patient infected with Schistosoma haematobium.
The authors report a case of Schistosoma haematobium infection with delayed occurrence of Salmonella bacteriuria following treatment of schistosomiasis. Standard models of interaction between these two pathogens may not be fully satisfactory in such a case of co-infection. The role played by a decreased host immune response following schistosomiasis may thus be highlighted to explain a delayed or prolonged infection with Salmonella.
