Abstract

Temozolomide is a relatively new chemotherapeutic agent frequently associated with selective CD4⁺ T-lymphocytopenia. Patients with cell-mediated immune defects are at higher risk for acquiring infections with Salmonella species. We describe the first case of disseminated salmonellosis in a patient treated with temozolomide.
