[Salmonella enteritidis infection presenting with septic shock, renal failure and cutaneous manifestations].
Infections by Salmonella enteritidis commonly present with diarrhoea, vomiting and fever and complications such as septicaemia, pleural effusion and acute renal failure are usually rare. There are only few reports of cutaneous manifestations and especially septic shock in patients with Salmonella enteritidis infection. We report on a previously healthy seven-year-old boy suffering from Salmonella enteritidis septicaemia presenting with septic shock, pleural effusion, renal failure and an unusual maculopapular skin eruption on both wrists and ankles. The boy had no underlying immunodeficiency.
