Abstract

Introduction: Patients whit SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) are prompt to develop infections with significant morbility and mortality. The intravascular infection due to salmonella is a rare complication of difficult diagnosis and poor prognostic.

Objective: We report two cases of bacterial endocarditis due to salmonella in SLE patients.

Clinical Cases: We report two cases of bacterial endocarditis caused by Salmonella in a patient with SLE, one with recent onset of mellitus diabetes and other with chronic renal failure. Despite of antibiotic treatment with fluoroquinolone and a third-generation cephalosporin, the patient required surgical intervention.

Conclusion: Salmonella infection should be suspected in SLE patients in order to make earlier diagnosis and treatment.
