Abstract

Salmonella enteritidis infection occurs primarily in animals and often results in self-limited gastroenteritis in accidental cross contamination in human. However, the acute renal failure could be a rare but serious complication of the S. enteritidis infection. We report one case of acute renal failure from severe dehydration caused by S. enteritidis food poisoning. The acute renal failure completely recovered after hydration and antibiotic treatment.
