ABSTRACT

We report two cases of co-infection with Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A identified by blood culture and confirmed by serotyping from an ongoing fever surveillance cohort in an urban slum in New Delhi. Co-infections such as these have important implications on diagnosis, treatment options including choice of antimicrobial(s), disease outcome and strategy for prevention.
