Abstract
A case of endocarditis caused by Salmonella enteritidis is reported in a 20-year-old African woman. This is only the fourth published case. The development of this rare infection in the patient reported here probably resulted from a reduction in immunity caused by pregnancy and a past splenectomy.Entities:
