Clinical features of children with nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteremia: A single institution survey in rural Japan.

ABSTRACT: Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) can cause bacterial enterocolitis. Although some children with NTS infection develop bacteremia, its clinical manifestations have not been discussed adequately. Therefore, we examined children with NTS bacteremia.
