We give a sufficient conditions for the existence, locally in time, of solutions to semilinear heat equations with nonlinearities of type $ |u|^{p-1}u $, when the initial datas are in negative Sobolev spaces $ H_q^{-s}(\Omega) $, $ \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N $, $ s \in [0,2] $, $ q \in (1,\infty) $. Existence is for instance proved for $ q>\frac{N}{2}\left(\frac{1}{p-1}-\frac{s}{2}\right)^{-1} $. This is an extension to $ s \in (0,2] $ of previous results known for $ s = 0 $ with the critical value $ \frac{N(p-1)}{2} $. We also observe the uniqueness of solutions in some appropriate class.
