Salmonellen-Übertragung von der Mutter auf das Neugeborene

Abstract

Two newborn infants were infected with Salmonella originating from their mothers. After infection of a newborn infant with Salmonella typhi from a mother, known for a long time to be a chronic carrier, no pathological findings were observed but the child continued to secrete typhoid bacilli for three years. The infection of the second child with S. panama, from a mother recognized as a carrier post-partum, caused a fulminating diarrhoea accompanied by septicaemia which had a fetal outcome.
