Article Synopsis
- - Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) disease can cause serious infections beyond digestive symptoms, particularly in older patients with weakened immune systems, leading to potentially life-threatening conditions like septic shock.
- - In a study involving seven patients with invasive NTS (iNTS), some experienced severe secondary infections, including urinary tract issues and aortic aneurysms; treatment varied from medication to surgery, with mixed outcomes.
- - The research highlights the challenging nature of iNTS, emphasizing the need for extended antimicrobial therapy and surgical intervention for secondary infections. It also stresses the importance of public health measures to prevent the spread of NTS and combat drug resistance.
Objective: We aimed at assessing the association between demographical and clinical data and the intrahospital mortality in older patients with COVID-19 in Belgium.
Methods: Descriptive, retrospective study of consecutive patients admitted to Brugmann university hospital, Brussels (Belgium) due to COVID-19 (Mars-September-2020).
Inclusion Criteria: Patients aged ≥ 70 years admitted to acute care with a positive PCR-RT test, or a highly indicative computed tomography scan.
