Abstract
Infection by the Salmonella genus is one of the main causes of gastroenteritis worldwide, with relevant mortality in developing Countries. However, its presentation is not always classic, and may involve extraintestinal sites such as lungs, kidneys, and others. Herein, we present a case report, with a detailed description of necroscopic findings, of a 7-month-old infant who died of salmonellotic bronchopneumonia, without previous gastrointestinal manifestation. The relevance of this report consists in alerting the medical community on the possibility of extraintestinal salmonellosis in this risk group, in addition to giving due attention to the macroscopic and histopathological findings of disseminated salmonellosis.
