Diarrhoeic syndrome is one of the most commonly found acute infectious diseases, with different etiologies. Our study comprised 396 patients with acute diarrhoeic syndrome. Salmonella infection was confirmed in 26.26% of the cases. Most commonly found was S. enteritidis (54.8%), S. hada, S. Typhi murium and S. virchow. Febrile gastroenterocolitis was the most frequent clinical pattern of salmonella infection (58.6%); dysenteric type of the diseases was present in 17% of patients, while only one case (0.9%), of salmonella fever with two positive hemocultures was observed. Most severe forms of the disease were caused by S. enteritidis, in 10% of the patients and S. virchow (0.9%). There was one lethal outcome (0.9%), while in the remainder of the patients the outcome was favorable. Remarkably severe clinical patterns were observed in children under 5 and in adults over 56 years.
