Not usually: Most persons infected with salmonella bacteria develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most persons recover without treatment. Those with the most severe form are young children, the elderly and those who are immune compromised.

Signs of salmonella: Patients with salmonella (s) infection develop abdominal pain, diarrhea and fever. What is different about a s infection and fever is that with it, patients do not have a rapid pulse. In s infected patients with fever their pulse is slower than would be expected in a fever caused by another bacterium. This is an important sign that can make a diagnosis before culture results are back.
