What Is Salmonella?
6. Bacteremia
Pathogens that cause infections are likely to stay in the same place in the body. This is not always the case, however, and severe infections can sometimes lead to the pathogen spreading to other parts of the body as well. In some cases of salmonellosis, the bacterium can be found flowing through the patient’s blood.
This is a condition known as bacteremia, and it can result in different parts of the body becoming infected. This can cause conditions like meningitis, osteomyelitis, and endocarditis. These conditions can be very dangerous, so they should be treated as an emergency as soon as they are detected.
