Özet
Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS) are predisposed to infection with Salmonella
spp. Although the majority of infections are due to S.
enteritidis serotype typhimurium [1], S. arizonae is
considered as an opportunistic pathogen in compromized patients and it is commonly found in reptiles
[2]. There have been recent reports of Hispanic
patients and a Puerto Rican patient ingesting dried
rattlesnake powder or capsules of dried rattlesnake
powder and developing S. arizonae infections [1 /3].
In this letter we report a Turkish patient with AIDS
who had S. arizonae bacteraemia but no history of
contact with reptiles.
