Nontyphoidal Salmonella infection among recipients of hematopoietic SCT

Abstract: The incidence of nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections is rising worldwide and several outbreaks have been reported recently. Immunosuppressed patients are particularly vulnerable to NTS infections. We retrospectively examined the clinical features and outcomes of 18 recipients of hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) who were diagnosed with NTS infection at our institution during a 15-year period. Bacteremia was the most common presenting feature and occurred in 67% of cases. Diarrhea was absent in one-third of cases. … Show more

“…Dadwal et al (39) described a retrospective case series of 18 recipients of allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplants, presenting over 15 years. They noted that diarrhoea was absent in 1/3 of cases of iNTS, as is commonly described in immunosuppressed groups.…”

“…Infectious events occurred even during periods of neutropenia. Case reports in similar populations and one cohort study of non-typhoidal Salmonella spp from a large transplant center 2,3,34,35 also suggest that these findings are not likely isolated to our center.…”

“…13,14 Credence for such recommendations is further stunted by a lack of studies addressing the burden of bacterial foodborne infections in HCT recipients. 3,15 More recent data suggests that restrictive nutritional strategies intended to prevent the consumption of pathogenic organisms may in fact increase the risk of infection. 16 …”
