Atherosclerosis severity predicts the risk of Non-typhoidal Salmonella vascular infection (IMAGE)
Caption
A study by researchers from NCKU, Taiwan found higher aortic calcification and increased inflammatory marker IL-1β in patients with non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) vascular infection, supporting the association of atherosclerosis and NTS vascular infection. They recommend early screening of people presenting with NTS bacteremia and risk factors for atherosclerosis for coexisting NTS vascular infection, to prevent infection induced mortality.
