Answer: An infection with salmonella bacteria, commonly caused by contaminated food or water.

Salmonella is most common among children. People with compromised immune systems, such as older adults, babies, and people with AIDS, are more likely to have severe cases.

Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, chills, and abdominal pain.

Most people only need fluids to recover in less than a week. Severe infections may require medical care including IV fluids and sometimes antibiotics.
