Symptoms of a salmonella infection
Salmonella bacteria cause illnesses in 1.35 million people every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The microbe is responsible for 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths annually.
Common symptoms of a salmonella infection, known as salmonellosis, include:
Most people can recover without an antibiotic, but treatment is recommended for anyone with severe illness. Infected adults over age 65 (or over 50 if an underlying condition such as heart disease is present), infants and those with a weakened immune system are also advised to take an antibiotic.
In severe cases, an infection can also result in a high fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhea and dehydration. An infection can also be fatal. Most people infected will exhibit symptoms six hours to six days after swallowing the bacteria. Typically, people recover in four to seven days without the need for treatment.
