Salmonella panama and acute respiratory distress syndrome in a traveler taking a proton pump inhibitor.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a rare complication of enteric fever. We present an immunocompetent traveler to Nicaragua who developed enteric fever from Salmonella panama complicated by ARDS. Unlike her fellow travelers who also became ill, she was taking a proton pump inhibitor, which may have contributed to the disease severity.
