Abstract
The authors report a case of infection with Schistosoma haematobium, w ith delayed occurence of Salmonella bacteriuria following treatment of schistosomiasis. Standard models of interaction between these two pat hogens may not be fully satisfactory in such case of coinfection. The role played by a decreased host immune response following schistosomia sis may thus be highlighted to explain a delayed or prolonged infectio n with Salmonella.
