Title Of Article :
Oral human serum immunoglobulin treatment in an immunocompromised patient with Salmonella diarrhea
Abstract :
The most frequently identified pathogen, after viral pathogens, associated with infectious gastroenteritis is Salmonella. Increase in acute-phase reactants and fever are more frequently seen due to Salmonella infection. Salmonella, which is an enteropathogenic gram-negative bacilli causes infections ranging from localized to systemic infection. The most common form of Salmonella infection is uncomplicated self-limited gastroenteritis. In general, although rotavirus diarrhea like Salmonella diarrhea is limited by itself, it may cause a long and severe diarrhea in immunosuppressed patients. In the studies which have been done more with rotavirüs diarrhea, it was seen that, oral immunoglobulin reduced the severity of symptoms and of viral excretion. We did not find a study showing given oral immünogobilin in Salmonella diarrhea. In this presentation it is discussed oral immunoglobulin treatment in an immunosuppressed patient who had severe diarrhea due to Salmonella infection.
