Salmonella sepsis and miscarriage.

We present a case of a miscarriage at 16 weeks of gestation due to infection and transplacental passage of Salmonella group C. This was identified as being Salmonella Virchow from genital tract swab culture, and placental Gram-staining revealed numerous colonies of Gram-negative bacilli within the fibrin between the placental villi, confirming a true villitis associated with a hematogenous infection. Based on the patient's history, it was suggested that she had contracted the salmonella infection from eating undercooked eggs. Treatment of salmonella infection in pregnancy is controversial, and antibiotic therapy should be reserved for cases of invasive disease, using amoxicillin or a cephalosporin.
