ABSTRACT

We present the case of a patient with endocarditis and arthritis caused by extended spectrum β-lactamase producing non-Typhi Salmonella, with incomplete response (defined as persistence of Salmonella in joint fluid) to initial instituted treatment (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) and posterior recovery with ertapenem. The disease was associated with implantable central venous catheter infection. Five percent of patients with non-Typhi Salmonella gastroenteritis develop bacteremia. Infective endocarditis and joint infection has been reported in 1,4% and less than 1% of cases, respectively.


Se presenta el caso de un paciente con endocarditis y artritis séptica por Salmonella no Typhi productora de β-lactamasas de espectro extendido que presentó una respuesta incompleta (definida como la persistencia de Salmonella en el líquido articular) al tratamiento inicial con cotrimoxazol y que posteriormente mejoró con ertapenem. La enfermedad se asoció al uso de un catéter venoso implantable. El 5% de los pacientes con gastroenteritis por Salmonella no Typhi desarrolla una bacteriemia. La endocarditis infecciosa y la artritis ha sido reportada en 1,4-5% de los casos y en menos de 1%; respectivamente.
