Excretion of Salmonellae in two groups of outpatients with Salmonellae is discussed. In one group of 51 adults, a total of 30 different serotypes were isolated. These patients were treated with lactulose and after four weeks the organisms had been eliminated in 68.6%. In a group of 23 adults receiving no treatment whatsoever, 56.5% were still excreting the organism after four weeks. Of the 64 in-patients studied, 37 received various antibiotics, 14 lactulose and in 13 only the symptoms were treated. The length of the excretion period was longer for the group receiving antibiotics (four weeks after onset of illness 67.8% were still excreting the organism). Treatment with lactulose, however, resulted in a shorter period of excretion for these patients. Special aspects of the various groups - e.g. age structure, pattern of infecting organisms - are reported in detail.
本文讨论了两组沙门氏菌门诊患者的沙门氏菌排泄情况。在一组51名成年人中，共分离出30种不同血清型。这些患者接受了乳果糖治疗，四周后68.6%的患者体内病菌已被清除。在另一组23名未接受任何治疗的成年人中，四周后仍有56.5%的患者在排泄病菌。在研究的64名住院患者中，37人接受了各种抗生素治疗，14人接受了乳果糖治疗，13人仅接受了症状治疗。接受抗生素治疗的患者排泄期更长（发病四周后仍有67.8%的患者在排泄病菌）。然而，乳果糖治疗使这些患者的排泄期缩短。文中详细报告了各群体的特殊情况，如年龄结构、感染病菌类型等。
