ABSTRACT


Salmonella is one of the most common causes of acute gastroenteritis worldwide and it is usually acquired by ingesting contaminated food. Its course is usually self-limited, but in patients with some underlying conditions this pathogen can cause life-threatening infections, such as bacteremia. Here we present the case of a 76-year-old female with Salmonella bacteremia.

Keywords: Bacteremia, Non-typhoidal salmonellosis, Salmonella
