title: Disseminated salmonellosis in a patient treated with temozolomide.
abstract: Temozolomide is a relatively new chemotherapeutic agent frequently associated with selective CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia. Patients with cell-mediated immune defects are at higher risk for acquiring infections with Salmonella species. We describe the first case of disseminated salmonellosis in a patient treated with temozolomide.
