As of April 7, the number of Salmonella victims sickened in the outbreak linked to DeFusco’s Bakery in Johnston, RI has grown to 64 cases. Twenty-seven of the people sickened were hospitalized. Every person sickened in this outbreak deserves compensation, particularly since DeFusco’s Bakery was so grossly negligent as to put baked pastry shells in boxes that had held raw eggs.

Our Salmonella attorneys have won money for people seriously sickened by Salmonella infections (salmonellosis), including people who developed Reiter’s syndrome, a reactive arthritis. We have also won lawsuits for families who lost loved ones to Salmonella infections and Reiter’s syndrome.

The arthritis associated with Reiter’s syndrome can affect any joint in the body and cause any of the following:

Enthesopathy - inflammation of the tendon that attaches to the bone

Heel spurs - bony growths in the heel that cause severe pain

Spondylitis - inflammation of the spine

Sacroiliitis – inflammation of the joints of the lower back that connect the spine to the pelvis

Conjunctivitis – inflammation of the mucous membrane that covers the eyeball and eyelid

Uveitis – inflammation of the eye.

About 10 percent of people with Reiter’s syndrome, develop heart problems:

Aortic regurgitation – leakage of blood from the aorta into the heart chamber

Pericarditis – inflammation of the membrane that covers and protects the heart
