Abstract

Abstract : Introduction: Previous studies have identified Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella Typhimurium as the main causative agents of foodborne diseases in Europe. Objective: Our aim was to demonstrate two separate cases of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Give infection in male prisoners presenting with symptoms of gastroenteritis. Case: We report the cases of two male prisoners, aged 47 and 32 years, who developed gastroenteritis, displaying vomitus and progressive diarrhoea with 2-day duration. The examination of the stool culture was positive for Salmonella Give. Following intravenous sodium chloride infusion, vitamin B6 and metoclopramide treatment, and a 7-day course of ciprofloxacin treatment, the patients displayed a significant clinical improvement. Conclusion: According to our knowledge, this is the first study to report the case of Salmonella Give-associated gastroenteritis in Central Europe.
