Salmonella enteritidis Endocarditis and Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in an Immunocompromised Renal Transplant Patient

摘要

Complicated nontyphoidal Salmonella infections and its recurrences have been reported infrequently in transplant patients. As such, there is no standard consensus regarding treatment options and prevention of recurrences in this population. We present a renal transplant patient who developed recurrent urinary tract infections with Salmonella enteritidis, complicated by bacteremia and endocarditis, and discuss our management for this challenging case.
