Salmonella infection, or salmonellosis, manifests symptoms including diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever, typically starting within 12 to 96 hours after exposure. In some cases, symptoms can take up to two weeks to appear. While most infections clear within five to seven days, around 28% of laboratory-confirmed cases necessitate hospitalization. The infection is commonly mild and doesn't require medical treatment in otherwise healthy individuals. However, more severe infections may occur, and these sometimes need antibiotic treatment.
In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
