Forty-seven new patients with salmonella food poisoning were admitted to the Infectious Diseases Unit at the City Hospital, Edinburgh, during 1975. Although all the patients had diarrhoea at some stage of their illness, the wide variety of presenting symptoms caused some diagnostic difficulties prior to the isolation of the organism. A probable predisposing factor to serious disease was recognised in 15 patients. Twenty patients (42.5%) were seriously ill and 4 patients (8.5%) died. This series stresses the potential severity of this common disease.
1975年，47名新患沙门氏菌食物中毒的患者被收治入爱丁堡市医院传染病科。尽管所有患者在病程的某个阶段都出现了腹泻，但在分离出病原体之前，各种各样的症状给诊断带来了一些困难。15名患者被确认存在可能导致严重疾病的诱发因素。20名患者（42.5%）病情严重，4名患者（8.5%）死亡。该系列病例强调了这种常见疾病的潜在严重性。
