title: Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis complicated by Salmonella enteritidis gastroenteritis.
abstract: Invasive non-typhoidal salmonellosis may occur in otherwise healthy children. We report an immunocompetent 3-year-old boy with Salmonella enteritidis gastroenteritis complicated by acute tubulointerstitial nephritis who presented with fever, bloody diarrhea and gross hematuria. This case is the first report of non-typhoidal salmonellosis associated with biopsy-proven tubulointerstitial nephritis in a child.
