Talk:Salmonellosis

Re-name to Salmonella enteritis?
hi all i will leave my mark

Duration of onset after ingestion?
I just flagged some conflicting information. The summary says that symptoms will appear 8 to 72 hours after ingestion of the bacteria, while the symptoms section says 12 to 72 hours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.190.244.179 (talk) 15:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Likelihood of Salmonella?
I read a statistic here - http://www.incredibleegg.org/egg-facts/egg-safety/eggs-and-food-safety - which purports to say that salmonella is very rare in eggs. Of course, it's coming from an egg advocacy group, so it's likely to have been presented in the most favorable light possible, if it's even true at all. If this "fact" could be verified, it would make an interesting section for this article about the sources which are most likely to actually produce the disease.

Four-inch law?
What this "Four-inch law" is about? Smart vandalism. 87.226.22.52 11:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * yeah it is weird huh? it's on fda.gov so it's legitimate it is just one of those weird laws, like no ice cream on sunday, i know i've seen that somewhere :-D MikelZap (talk) 15:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * According to the reference cited, it isn't even a "law" &mdash; it's merely a regulation promulgated by the bureaucrats at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and, therefore, doesn't apply to the average citizen. Where did the term "Four-Inch Law " originate?  Is it simply a figment of the imagination of the person (Signless) who contributed it to the article?  The cited FDA Web page doesn't use the term anywhere. A search of the Web refers to this regulation variously as "law" and "regulation".  Since it isn't a law, I've changed it to the more accurate term, regulation. &mdash;QuicksilverT @ 21:31, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I think you're mistaking 'law' and 'legislation'. A regulation by an empowered government body has the force of law and is, therefore, a 'law'. 81.141.211.117 (talk) 12:54, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

New outbreak

US-bias
I've tagged the incidents section as being heavily biased towards the USA, as only one of the examples comes from outside that country. I'm sure there must have been notable incidents of Salmonellosis prior to 2005 as well. Thryduulf (talk) 14:52, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Typo?
At the hospital, the patient may receive intravenous fluids to treat the dehydration, and may be given medications to provide symptomatic relief, such as fever reduction. In severe cases, the Salmonella infection may spread from georgia black with impaired immune systems are more likely to develop severe illness.

Northern Europe salmonella outbreak
I saw that this article isn't updated as of autumn 2012. A big outbreak of salmonellis in Northern Europe has recently occured with smoked salmon. I could only find a Dutch source as of yet which information regarding the serotype. Should this be posted under the 2012 incidents subject (even if a Dutch government site is the only source)?

Blacklisted Links Found on Salmonellosis
Cyberbot II has detected links on Salmonellosis which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Osteomyelitis in Sickle Cell Disease: Salmonella vs. S. aureus
"Though Salmonella infection is frequently the cause of osteomyelitis in sickle-cell anemia patients, it is not the most common cause; the most common cause remains Staphylococcus infection."

This statement is without reference and seemingly stands in contrast with the multiple sources of literature. Several well-established sources claim that Salmonella is significantly more common than Staphylococcus: http://www.uptodate.com/contents/bone-and-joint-complications-in-sickle-cell-disease is a secondary source with multiple references establishing this claim. In particular, one that can be accessed by anyone: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/101/2/296

I suggest rewording the article to reflect this, unless someone can cite more recent or reliable sources.

Ambiguous statement in lede

 * Salmonellosis is an infection caused by Salmonella bacteria. Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. In most cases, the illness lasts four to seven days, and most people recover without treatment.[1] In some cases, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient becomes dangerously dehydrated and must be hospitalized.

The first sentence could mean that Salmonellosis is one of several potential consequences of the Salmonella bacteria. The second sentence could then be interpreted as meaning that Salmonella infection normally causes this list of symptoms, but Salmonellosis is something else. Now, having read through more of the article, I am reasonably confident that this interpretation would be wrong, and it really just means "Salmonellosis is Salmonella infection, and the symptoms are ...", but I think the text needs rewording to make this clearer.

Electrolytes
You state "no mention of electrolytes" User:Iztwoz but the ref says "Treatment in severe cases is electrolyte replacement (to provide electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium and chloride ions, lost through vomiting and diarrhoea) and rehydration."

 * Per here usually diagnosed by stool tests. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 04:07, 11 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Doc James Yes I missed out that para - it didn't show on wordsearch. I still think it could be left to text and if not i think problems is a strange choice of word. To me its very inconsistent styling of yours - small instead of linked wasted on polio page, yet electrolytes are fine in salmonellosis lead. Genus is unacceptable to you - yet species is OK?  and why remove blood test and its ref? Very clearly stated in the reputable CDC source. Best --Iztwoz (talk) 07:22, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean by "I still think it could be left to text"
 * Yes type is better in the first sentence of the article. Later sure we can introduce the species.
 * Not sure what you mean by "small instead of linked wasted on polio page"
 * Sure added back the CDC source though diagnosis is usually by stool not blood tests. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 07:39, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
