A Case of Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhi in a Patient without a history of international travel

Abstract

Typhoid fever, endemic in the developing world, is associated with international travel in developed nations. We present a case of Salmonella enterica infection in a patient without a history of international travel acquired from his traveling ex-wife. History of overseas travel in family members should be investigated when evaluating suspected cases. © 2009 International Society of Travel Medicine.
