 AB    OBJECTIVE: To aware consciousness about the newer opportunistic
       infection in cases of AIDS/HIV infection. METHODS: Published reports of
       Salmonella enteritidis PT4 food poisoning from USA and European
       Countries including UK have been analysed RESULTS: There has been found
       a remarkable significant correlation between the reported cases of S.
       enteritidis PT4 food poisoning and cases of HIV infection in the
       aforesaid areas. DISCUSSION: In 1980's increased incidence of S.
       enteritidis PT4 food poisoning was reported from various parts of the
       Globe. This could not be explained neither by a chance incidence nor by
       more awareness or better diagnostic facilities. As it is well known that
       these bacteria may undergo rapid genetic changes and bacteriophagic
       transduction, a possible relationship with HIV from this angle might be
       shared. Future research from this corner might be fruitful and might not
       be unexpected in the developed countries.
