Sažetak
Non-thyphoidal Salmonella usually presents as gastroenteritis while extra-intestinal manifestations are rare and mostly occur in patients with predisposing conditions such as chronic illness, urinary tract abnormalities, and immunosuppression. Urinary tract infection is the most common infectious complication in kidney transplant recipients. There are very few cases of urinary tract infections caused by non-thyphoidal Salmonella in kidney transplant recipients in the English literature, and to the best of our knowledge, only nine cases being stool negative. Although being extremely rare, non-thyphoidal Salmonella should be considered as one of the possible causes of urinary tract infections in kidney transplant recipients even without concomitant or preceding gastrointestinal symptoms. Bacteriuria can be present for some time after treatment requiring prolonged treatment and urine culture surveillance.
