Les infections à salmonelles chez l'enfant : étude retrospective sur quatre ans

Discussion. - Incidence of salmonella infections is increasing in France, particularly in the Languedoc-Roussillon area. Diagnosis of mild forms is generally easy but certain patient background seems to expose to severe forms. Treatment of salmonella infections is mainly symptomatic, only severe or specific cases (young age, immunodepression…) requiring antibiotic treatment. The growing antibiotic use and the increasing of resistance are currently the main problems in the management of salmonella infections. Those infections remain a public health problem in Languedoc-Roussillon.
