Abstract
Sir—Shimoni et al. [1] retrospectively analyzed clinical data for patients with nontyphoid salmonella infections in Israel and found age-related differences in clinical presentation, bacteriology, and outcome between pediatric and adult patients. We have performed a similar study [2] and would like to clarify some points that were not clearly addressed in their article.
