| description | <i>Salmonella enterica</i> subspecies <i>enterica</i> serotype Hessarek (<i>Salmonella</i> Hessarek) is considered a serovar with high host specificity and is an uncommon cause of disease in humans; no cases of <i>S.</i> Hessarek bacteremia have been reported in humans to date. On 16 July 2019, a young male presented abdominal pain, vomit, diarrhea, and fever up to 41 °C, a few hours after a kebab meal containing goat meat; he went to the Emergency Room, where a Film Array<sup>®</sup> GI Panel (BioFire, Biomerieux Company, Marcy-L´Étoile, France) was performed on his feces and results were positive for <i>Salmonella</i>. The culture of the feces was negative, but the blood culture was positive for <i>Salmonella spp</i>., which was identified as <i>Salmonella</i> Hessarek by seroagglutination assays. The patient was treated with ceftriaxone 2 g intravenously qd for 8 days; he was discharged in good general conditions, and ciprofloxacin 500 mg per os bid for 7 more days was prescribed, after exclusion of endocarditis and of clinical signs of complicated bacteremia. This case of <i>Salmonella</i> Hessarek gastroenteritis with bacteremia is probably the first case of bloodstream human infection due to this agent ever described. Further studies are needed to ascertain the global burden of <i>S.</i> Hessarek disease in humans. |
