Systemic infections induced by Salmonella arizonae have been described in patients with underlying cell-mediated immunodeficiencies, usually resident in southern countries of U.S. and in Mexico. This peculiar geographic distribution is probably due to the ingestion of meat or drugs from rattlesnakes, that Salmonella arizonae colonize in the intestinal tract and that live in the above areas. In this article we describe two cases of systemic Salmonella arizonae infections, that represent, to our knowledge, the first report in European literature.

Abstract
Systemic infections induced by Salmonella arizonae have been described in patients with underlying cell-mediated immunodeficiencies, usually resident in southern countries of U.S. and in Mexico. This peculiar geographic distribution is probably due to the ingestion of meat or drugs from rattlesnakes, that Salmonella arizonae colonize in the intestinal tract and that live in the above areas. In this article we describe two cases of systemic Salmonella arizonae infections, that represent, to our knowledge, the first report in European literature.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
