The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal

Abstract

Nontyphoidal Salmonella spp. are among the leading causes of childhood bacteremia in sub-Saharan Africa, yet there are few published clinical series, and the risk factors for acquiring infection are not fully understood. We examined data from 166 cases of nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteremia identified during a large prospective study of bacteremia among all children admitted to a district hospital in Kenya. We also investigated the importance of comorbidities, including current malaria parasitemia, recent malaria (detectable Plasmodium falciparum histidine rich protein 2 in the absence of parasitemia), sickle cell disease, malnutrition and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteremia was associated with severe malnutrition (33% cases), HIV infection (18% cases), a history of illness >7 days, recent hospital admission, splenomegaly, anemia and recent (but not current) malaria but was not associated with diarrhea. Seventy-seven (46%) children with nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteremia fulfilled World Health Organization clinical criteria for a diagnosis of pneumonia. Independent risk factors for death were diarrhea, tachypnea, HIV infection, severe malnutrition, meningitis and young age. Clinical d...Continue Reading
