| Summary: | Background
Non‐typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is a major cause of infectious diarrhea worldwide. Although NTS bacteremia is frequently observed in immunocompromised hosts, it rarely occurs in healthy subjects.
Case presentation
We report a case in which a 15‐year‐old male was diagnosed with NTS bacteremia after undergoing an operation. He had a high temperature on the 6th postoperative day but did not exhibit any obvious gastrointestinal manifestations. A blood culture was positive for NTS. Cefotaxime was intravenous, and the patient's symptoms improved.
Conclusion
We experienced a case of non‐typhoidal Salmonella (NTS), which is rare in healthy individuals. |
