title: Nontyphi Salmonella sepsis in an eight-year-old boy.
abstract: Nontyphi bacteremia is a rare event in older children, especially in those without predisposing conditions. We report a case occurring in a normal 8-year-old boy from south Louisiana whose prolonged illness may, in part, have been iatrogenic. Antibiotic treatment is also discussed.
