Diagnostic, Therapeutic, and Evolutionary Profile of Salmonellosis at CHNEAR in Dakar
Introduction Salmonellosis encompasses infections caused by Salmonella species, a diverse group of Gram-negative bacilli within the Enterobacteriaceae family. While typhoid and paratyphoid fevers are systemic manifestations, many non-typhoidal Salmonella infections cause gastroenteritis or focal infections. This article summarizes the diagnostic approaches, therapeutic strategies, and observed evolutionary trends of salmonellosis at CHNEAR (Centre Hospitalier National Eric…
