Abstract: An important association between non-typhoidal salmonella bacteremia and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been demonstrated in both industrialized and developing countries. In spite of the prevalence and public health importance of Salmonella typhi in developing countries, an association between HIV and S. typhi has not been well documented. This report describes the co-occurrence of HIV and S. typhi infections in a young Zimbabwean woman. Her presenting feature was a large artery occlusion, previously reported very rarely in association with typhoid fever and never with HIV infection.
