  • Title: [About combined forms of dysentery and salmonellosis].
    Author: Matiukhin AV.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 2007; 85(4):60-3. PubMed ID: 17564043.
    Abstract:
    In Moscow, acute infectious diseases constitute more than 30% of all infectious pathology of adult population. Such combined forms as a combination of shigellosis and salmonellosis exist along with monoinfections. Addition of salmonellosis to dysentery does not necessarily worsen the course of the latter and in some cases does not express itself clinically. However, more often salmonellosis deteriorates the condition of a patient with dysentery: his/her general condition worsens, fever recommences, and defecation becomes more frequent during the recovery period. One of the characteristic forms of salmonellosis is nosoparasitism, the spread of which is not limited to infectious diseases. Nosoparasitism does not present a complication of one infection by another, but is a co-existence of two diseases, one of which as though prepares the organism for the development of the other. Combinations of different infectious diseases (syntropy) require further studies. The author adduces two own observations of the development of salmonella nosoparasitism in patients with shigellosis. The mixed infection had a moderate form.
