TL;DR: There is some evidence that biochemical identification of salmonellae and routine Widal agglutination tests were not suitable laboratory procedures for definite identification, and the patients showed dramatic and convincing clinical response to chloromycetin, without relapses.

TL;DR: An anomalous response of the nervous system to the immuno-allergic products derived from dead worms and; or their eggs probably was responsible for the clinical manifestations of spinal cord involvement.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used niridazole to treat salmonellosis resistant to chloramphenicol and various antibiotic and chemotherapeutic drugs (tetracyclines, streptomycin, nalidixic acid, sulphonamides) for 7-10 consecutive days.

TL;DR: The absence of association between worm burden and nearly all the clinical gastro-intestinal manifestations strengthens the concept that factors other than worm burden, such as host reactivity, constitute important pathogenetic elements in the initial phase of schistosomiasis mansoni.

TL;DR: The clinical and radiological pulmonary manifestations described are significant part of the initial phase of schistosomiasis mansoni and present the worm burden, eosinophilia and levels of IgE as probable pathogenetic factors.
