 AB    In patients with HIV infection, non-typhoidal salmonellae are a
       recognised cause of bacteraemia. This association was initially
       demonstrated in the United States, but has more recently been found in
       Kenyan patients. This prompted us to review the cases of patients with
       enterobacteriaceae bacteraemia admitted to Parirenyatwa Hospital,
       Harare. Non-typhoidal salmonella bacteraemia as compared with typhoid
       fever was significantly more common in HIV infected patients than in
       non-HIV infected patients (p < 0.01). It was also a cause of bacteraemia
       in patients with other immuno-suppressive conditions and in some
       patients without identifiable risk factors.
