Fever in travelers or immigrants from the tropics is an increasingly common problem facing physicians in urban centers of North America. Malaria and typhoid fever are endemic in developing countries and affect millions of people annually. An association between falciparum malaria and salmonella bacteremia has been noted for many years, although the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. We report on two travelers with falciparum malaria and concomitant salmonella bacteremia and review the possible mechanisms that may explain this association.
来自热带地区的旅行者或移民发热是北美城市中心医生面临的一个日益常见的问题。疟疾和伤寒在发展中国家呈地方性流行,每年影响数百万人。恶性疟原虫疟疾与沙门菌血症之间的关联已被注意到多年,尽管其潜在机制尚未完全阐明。我们报告了两名患有恶性疟原虫疟疾并伴有沙门菌血症的旅行者,并综述了可能解释这种关联的机制。
