We report 2 cases of severe nontyphoidal salmonellosis (Salmonella enteritidis), occurring 4 and 5 weeks after starting a treatment with Omeprazole (20 mg a day). No other member of the families was sick, and none of the 2 patients took any meals outside home during the two weeks preceding the first symptoms. Gastric hypochlorhydria is a major risk factor for Salmonella enteritidis, and several cases of severe infection have been described with this condition. After a review of the literature we conclude that patients with diminished gastric acid run an increased risk of developing Salmonella infection and often with a more serious clinical course.
