Opportunistic prenatal infection is a recognized problem in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women from inner city communities. We report a case of intrapartum Salmonella typhi infection and discuss the possible route of infection. An HIV-infected pregnant woman was admitted for fever and ruptured membranes. Maternal blood, cervical and uterine cultures, and placental surface and intramembranous space cultures grew S typhi. The patient responded to antibiotic therapy, with no relapse. The infant did not show signs or symptoms of Salmonella sepsis. Salmonella infection should be treated aggressively in HIV-infected pregnancies with chorioamnionitis and postpartum endometritis.
