| Abstract |
|
We report the case of a four months old girl who suffered from a Salmonella pomona's septicemia. The source of contamination was the pet turtle recently acquired by her parents. If the pet turtle-associated salmonellosis is still rare in our country, the high rate of carriage of this germ by these exotic pets and the potential severity of the human disease justify an epidemiological survey. People with immature or weakened immune systems should avoid contact with reptiles.
