title: Five cases of non-typhoidal Salmonella endovascular infection.
abstract: The incidence of human non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) infection has increased in many countries. Endovascular infection is one of the most serious forms of extraintestinal infection. Five patients with NTS endovascular infection treated at Middlemore Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand, are presented here. All persons with NTS bacteraemia who are older than 50 years and have a risk of atherosclerosis should be evaluated for possible endovascular infection.
