Abstract
The typical clinical picture of Salmonella München infection among 43 new born and small infants as seen in two outbreaks was that of a febrile gastro enteritis which lasted longer and was more severe in newborn and premature infants. One outbreak was initiated by an infant admitted at two weeks of age with Salmonella gastroenteritis, and the other by an infant admitted at two days of age with hemolytic disease of the newborn and febrile diarrhea. Spread to the other infants was presumably caused by crossinfection. Prophylactic administration of antibiotics did not prevent crossinfection.Keywords
