Salmonella spp. are a common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis. In infants, Salmonella infection is uncommon, posing a higher risk for a severe course. The authors present a case of a 3-month-old infant with suspected Salmonella sepsis. Also discussed are the correct approach to therapy and potential errors in the treatment of the youngest age groups.
