- 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.
