Skin infection with Salmonella rostock in a newborn infant.

Abstract

An account is given of pyoderma, resembling pemphigus neonatorum, in a 1‐weekold infant suffering from paratyphoid fever. Before and during delivery, the mother had marked symptoms and signs of enteritis. Salmonella rostock was isolated from the faeces of both the mother and child. Both staphylococci of apathogenic type and S. rostock were recovered from the content of the child's vesicles.
