“…These findings outdistance those reported by Salih et al who had stated that chronic persistent salmonella bacteraemia has been described in association with S. mansoni 9 . In the current study the association of salmonella species was found more with urinary schistosomiasis compared to intestinal schistosomiasis.…”

“…This finding is in agreement with that reported by Salih et al 8 . On the other hand, S. paratyphi A and S. paratyphi C were the commonest organisms isolated by Hathout et al 9 . They attributed this difference to some localized factors in the patients or to inherent features of the causative organisms 9 .…”

“…Salih et al were able to isolate Salmonella species from all of their 21 hepatosplenic schistosomiasis patients 8 . Hathout et al were able to isolate Salmonella organisms from all (100%) of their 61 Schistosoma patients studied and 51 of these cases had developed a carrier state 9 . In the present context, the detection rate of Salmonella was low (30.9%) compared to the 100% rate of Salih et al 8 .…”

Schistosomiasis is a major communicable disease with a great impact on both public health and socioeconomic status of the developing world. It is highly prevalent in tropics and causes morbidity and mortality in developing countries including Sudan. Because of its chronicity and robust immunomodulatory activity, the effects of Schistosomiasis on other diseases such as allergies, autoimmunity and infectious diseases have been studied extensively in both epidemiological and experimental settings. Salmonella spp. is a common water-and food-borne cause of gastrointestinal and systemic diseases worldwide. Approximately, 2 million individuals die each year of diarrhea and Salmonella is a leading cause of this illness. A relationship between persistent as well as recurrent Salmonella bacteremia and schistosomiasis has been described both in adults and children. The present cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the relationship between schistosomiasis and salmonellosis in Helat Mahajoub in AL-Gezira Agricultural Scheme. Urine and faecal samples were collected from 288 individuals and investigated for Schistosoma ova using the modified Kato thick smear technique and the concentration technique. 207 subjects were positive for schistosomiasis and were thence subjected to bacteriological cultures of S. typhi, S. paratyphi A and S. paratyphi B. Salmonella species were detected in 64 schistosomiasis patients (30.9%). Salmonella infection was found to increase when the duration of schistosomiasis infestation was more than one year.

“…O quadro clínico de febre prolongada e hepatoesplenomegalia associadas à salmonelose septicêmica prolongada foi descrito em associação com a esquistossomose causada pelas principais espécies de esquistossomas que infectam o homem: o Schistosoma mansoni 31 89 107 , o Schistosoma japonicum 124 , o Schistosoma haematobium 41 e o Schistosoma intercalatum 35 36 . Na esquistossomose por Schistosoma haematobium, observa-se mais frequentemente a presença persistente de salmonela em uroculturas repetidas 39 42 60 62 ; porém, quadro clínico semelhante ao da enterobacteriose septicêmica prolongada também foi descrito 41 .…”

A salmonelose septicêmica prolongada constitui entidade clínica caracterizada por febre irregular prolongada e hepatoesplenomegalia, decorrente da coinfecção por salmonelas em indivíduos com esquistossomose. O quadro clínico difere tanto das manifestações da esquistossomose isoladamente, quanto daquele associado somente à infecção por salmonelas patogênicas, resultando em uma entidade clínica individualizada 99 . QUADRO CLÍNICOA salmonelose septicêmica prolongada acomete preferencialmente jovens entre 10 e 30 anos e se manifesta por febre, perda de peso e fadiga. Embora os RESUMOA salmonelose septicêmica prolongada é uma entidade clinicamente individualizada caracterizada por febre prolongada com hepatoesplenomegalia que ocorre em indivíduos esquistossomóticos coinfectados com salmonelas. Os mecanismos imunopatogênicos são vários e dependem das peculiaridades das interações entre as salmonelas e várias espécies do gênero Schistosoma. As modificações ocasionadas no sistema imunitário pela infecção parasitária são responsáveis pela evolução do quadro da doença. Nesta revisão, analisamos a evolução do conhecimento sobre a entidade e discutimos os possíveis mecanismos imunofisiopatogênicos que concorrem para seu desenvolvimento. Palavras-chaves:Salmonelose septicêmicas prolongada. Esquistossomose. Salmonella. Fagocitose. Monócitos. ABSTRACTChronic septicemic salmonellosis is an individualized clinical entity characterized by prolonged fever with enlargement of the liver and spleen that occurs in Schistosoma-infected individuals who are coinfected with Salmonella. Several immunopathogenic mechanisms are involved, and they depend on the peculiarities of the interactions between Salmonella and various species of the genus Schistosoma. The modifications to the immune system that are caused by parasite infection are responsible for the evolution of the disease.In this review, we analyze the evolution of the knowledge on this entity and discuss the possible immuno-physiopathogenic mechanisms that contribute towards its development. Key-words:Chronic septicemic salmonellosis. Schistosomiasis. Salmonella. Phagocytosis. Monocytes.indivíduos acometidos, geralmente, apresentarem-se muito emagrecidos e com um quadro de bacteremia com meses de duração, não aparentam estar toxemiados. O início da doença é insidioso e a febre, que se prolonga por muitos meses, é irregular. A hepatoesplenomegalia geralmente é pronunciada, com o baço frequentemente ultrapassando a cicatriz umbilical 30 59 87 125 127 . O comprometimento do estado geral se acentua com o tempo e as mucosas descoradas, o emagrecimento e a perda de massa muscular expressam a decadência física do paciente. Entretanto, apesar do intenso comprometimento físico, os indivíduos acometidos geralmente continuam com suas atividades laborais normais. E, mesmo quando o agente etiológico é a Salmonella typhi, diferentemente do quadro de febre tifóide, os pacientes não se apresentam torporosos e nem mostram sintomatologia que signifique comprometimento do sistema nervoso central 88 ...
