Our report highlights a case of severe childhood salmonellosis related to a pet turtle, a red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans). A 6-year-old girl had gastroenteritis complicated with sepsis caused by serotype Paratyphi B, which shared the same pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles with the organism isolated from a pet turtle. Based on our literature survey on childhood invasive salmonellosis acquired from reptiles, this case is the first documented reptile-associated salmonellosis including sepsis caused by this serotype.
我们的报告着重介绍了一例与宠物龟——红耳龟（滑龟）相关的儿童严重沙门氏菌病病例。一名6岁女孩患肠胃炎并伴有副伤寒B血清型引起的败血症，该血清型与从宠物龟分离出的菌株具有相同的脉冲场凝胶电泳图谱。根据我们对儿童从爬行动物感染侵袭性沙门氏菌病的文献调查，该病例是首例有记录的与爬行动物相关的沙门氏菌病，包括由该血清型引起的败血症。
