Although small intestine is generally regarded as the principal site involved in human salmonella infection of food-poisoning type, the pathophysiology of salmonella diarrhoea remains obscure. A sigmoidoscopic and biopsy study of 23 hospital inpatients with acute salmonella infection revealed presence of active colitis in 21. It is suggested that colonic involvement is common in human salmonellosis and probably plays an important role in the causation of diarrhoea.
尽管小肠通常被认为是人类食物中毒型沙门氏菌感染的主要受累部位，但沙门氏菌腹泻的病理生理学仍不清楚。对23例急性沙门氏菌感染住院患者进行的乙状结肠镜检查和活检研究显示，21例存在活动性结肠炎。提示结肠受累在人类沙门氏菌病中很常见，可能在腹泻的病因中起重要作用。
