In a medical mystery involving one of Detroit’s largest hospitals, more than a dozen patients, all in the same unit at Henry Ford Hospital, contracted Salmonella last week.

But the hospital did not release other details, such as the strain of salmonella or whether a source has been identified. Officials, however, have been unable to identify a common food item, place or event where all of the cases may have been exposed.
Hospital staff and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services officials are working to determine the source of this apparent outbreak.
Officials say there is no evidence at this point linking the illness to food. The hospital says no new cases have been found this week. “Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection”.
Detroit Local 4 said patients were being treated for other conditions and that this outbreak is not related to contaminated food.

Salmonella causes “1 million illnesses in the United States, with 19,000 hospitalizations and 380 deaths” each year, according to Centers for Disease Control.
