 AB    Among 20- to 59-year-old residents of New York City who have septicemia,
       gastroenteritis, urinary tract infection, and multiple site infections
       due to Salmonella, those listed in the New York City AIDS Registry were
       highly overrepresented. Among the patients listed in the registry, males
       outnumbered females by 4:1 (septicemia), 9:1 (multiple site infections),
       5.6:1 (gastroenteritis), and 2.5:1 (urinary tract infection); among
       patients not listed, males outnumbered females by 2.7:1 (septicemia),
       3:1 (multiple site infections), 1.2:1 (gastroenteritis), and 1.6:1
       (urinary tract infection). These results strongly suggest that most
       nonlisted males with septicemia and multiple site infections, and a
       minority with gastroenteritis and urinary tract infection, were human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive. Among individuals who were
       HIV-positive, or likely to be so, Salmonella enteritidis was more
       competent in causing septicemia and less competent in causing
       gastroenteritis than was Salmonella typhimurium; among HIV-negative
       individuals, the reverse was true. The different capacities for
       infection with and invasiveness of S. enteritidis, S. typhimurium, and
       other Salmonella serotypes in HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals
       and the use of HIV testing for Salmonella-infected individuals are
       discussed.
