 AB    Among the opportunistic infections observed during infection with human
       immunodeficiency virus, recurrent non-typhoid salmonella bacteriemia has
       not been widely documented in Black Africa. This retrospective study
       identified 5 cases of non-typhoid salmonellosis in a series of 27
       seropositive patients, i.e. 18.5%, hospitalized over a two-year period
       in an internal medicine department in Senegal. All 27 patients presented
       general or digestive manifestations and were in the stage of full-blown
       AIDS. The diagnosis was salmonella septicemia in 60% of cases. The
       incidence of salmonella is higher in immunocompromised patients than in
       healthy subjects, particularly in Africa. These infections frequently
       lead to bacteriemia, have a strong tendency to recur, and are highly
       indicative of immunodeficiency. Salmonellosis which is curable should be
       suspected in seropositive African patients presenting general and/or
       digestive manifestations.
