Bacteriemia por salmonelosis en un paciente inmunocompetente, reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura

Abstract

Salmonellosis is a disease that can become systemic, especially in immunosuppressed patients. However, the case of a 28-year-old male patient with no comorbidities is presented, who was admitted with a history of fever, hepatosplenomegaly, acute kidney injury with proteinuria, and lymphopenia, following ingestion of food at an unsanitary site. Salmonella typhi was identified in 3 blood cultures, and the patient responded favorably to antibiotic treatment.
