Abstract
Salmonella is the most commonly reported cause of food-borne outbreaks of gastroenteritis. We report a case of a severe and toxic form of enteritis caused by Salmonella enteritidis. Findings of colonoscopy, an upper G1 tract series, and small bowel follow-through were consistent with those of inflammatory bowel disease, but the enteritis was self-limited, and the patient recovered after supportive treatment only and has remained well.
