More Salmonella Information
Salmonella is a serious and potentially deadly form of bacteria that causes Salmonellosis. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. While most people recover without the need for medical attention, some people experience such severe diarrhea that they need to be hospitalized. In these patients, the Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and then to other parts of the body and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly. Also, in rare cases, a person may develop Reiter’s syndrome which causes pain in their joints, irritation of the eyes, and painful urination. Reiter’s syndrome can last for months or years, and can lead to chronic arthritis.
Salmonella related food poisoning usually develops within the first 12-72 hours after ingesting the contaminated food and can last anywhere from 4 to 7 days. Every year, approximately 40,000 cases of salmonellosis are reported in the United States and approximately 400 people die. Because many milder cases are not diagnosed or reported, the actual number of infections may be thirty or more times greater. Only your healthcare provider can determine for sure if you have salmonella or another type of infection.
