A 1-week old, two-humped female camel (Camelus bactrianus) calf with continual whining, epiphora, anorexia, muscle twitching, and lateral recumbency was referred to a veterinary hospital. Although she died shortly after preliminary clinical examination, but necropsy was performed and tissue samples were taken for further microbiological and pathological examinations. On bacteriological investigation, Salmonella typhimurium and Streptococcus agalactiae were isolated. Histopathologically, lesions consisted of hyperemia and hemorrhage in all serosal and mucosal surfaces, gastroenteritis, and purulent ascites, associated with suppurative omphalitis. Acute nutmeg liver demonstrated centrilobular congestion and moderate fatty changes without any inflammatory cell infiltration. The abomasal and intestinal mucosa were hemorrhagic and erosive. The brain was hyperemic with severe fibrinopurulent meningoencephalitis. Except for dromedary camels and llamas, there has been no previous report of an acute, fatal septicemia in a two-humped camel calf due to S. typhimurium accompanied by S. agalactiae.
一头1周龄的双峰雌性骆驼（骆驼属双峰驼）幼崽，持续哀鸣、流泪、厌食、肌肉抽搐并侧卧，被转诊至一家兽医医院。尽管它在初步临床检查后不久死亡，但仍进行了尸检，并采集了组织样本用于进一步的微生物学和病理学检查。细菌学调查分离出鼠伤寒沙门氏菌和无乳链球菌。组织病理学检查显示，病变包括所有浆膜和粘膜表面的充血和出血、胃肠炎、脓性腹水，伴有化脓性脐炎。急性槟榔肝表现为小叶中心充血和中度脂肪变性，无任何炎症细胞浸润。皱胃和肠道粘膜出血且糜烂。脑部充血，伴有严重的纤维蛋白脓性脑膜脑炎。除单峰骆驼和美洲驼外，此前尚无关于双峰骆驼幼崽因鼠伤寒沙门氏菌伴无乳链球菌感染而发生急性致命败血症的报道。
