Case description

Duodenal Involvement in Salmonella Gastroenteritis usually starts 12 to 48 h after ingestion of organisms, with nausea and cramping abdominal pain followed by diarrhea, fever, and sometimes vomiting. Usually the stool is watery but may be a pastelike semisolid. Rarely, mucus or blood is present. The disease is usually mild, lasting 1 to 4 days. Occasionally, a more severe, protracted illness occurs. If the infection is more severe, a disruption of the intestinal mucosa can occur with necrosis and ulceration, non-typhoidal salmonella. In rare cases, Salmonella infection mimics inflammatory bowel disease or pseudoappendicitis.
