Deskripsi

It is challenging for clinicians to determine the cause of occurrence of fever in COVID-19 patients after corticosteroid discontinuation. Blood cultures help us distinguish between secondary infections and rebound phenomena. We report a case of non-typhoidal Salmonella bacteremia in a 34-year-old male COVID-19 patient who developed fever after discontinuing corticosteroids.
