Bacteremia and pleuropulmonary involvement usually occur in the setting of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, malignancies and HIV. We present three cases of non-typhoidal salmonellosis in immunocompetent patients presenting over a year period. A 66-year-old female presented with septic shock. She was...
