Contact with animals, particularly reptiles, is a known source of Salmonella transmission. Cases of Salmonella infections transmitted by pet reptiles have been reported in the literature since the 1960s. A review of the scientific literature on published cases of salmonellosis in young children following exposure to reptiles since 1993 was conducted in January 2013 to document the most common clinical presentations, the Salmonella serotypes involved, and the mode of Salmonella transmission. The 66 selected articles included 43 isolated case studies, 14 outbreak investigations, 5 case-control studies, and 4 retrospective descriptive studies. The reported isolated cases were predominantly cases of gastroenteritis (69%), and 31% were cases of non-gastrointestinal infections. The serotypes of the Salmonella strains were predominantly of the enterica (I) subspecies. The reptiles most frequently implicated were turtles. (R.A.)
