[Non-typhus Salmonella urinary tract infections].
Non-typhus Salmonella urinary tract infections are rare. Based on a clinical case and a review of the recent literature, the authors analyse the diagnostic setting and discuss the necessary investigations and treatment modalities. Non-typhus Salmonella urinary tract infections generally occur in a predisposed clinical setting, such as immunodepression or acquired (stones, schistosomiasis) or congenital uropathy. As in the present case, it can also be the first clinical expression of AIDS, which must be systematically investigated. Antibiotic therapy must be continued for at least two weeks and consists of a third generation cephalosporin or fluoroquinolones, but the prognosis is directly related to the underlying clinical condition.
