In simple words: Salmonella pyelonephritis is a kidney infection caused by Salmonella bacteria, which are often found in contaminated food.It can cause problems like painful urination, back pain, fever, and stomach upset.

Salmonella pyelonephritis is a complication of Salmonella infection, a foodborne illness typically acquired from eating contaminated food. The bacteria enter the bloodstream and localize to the kidneys, causing inflammation and infection.

Example 1: A patient presents with fever, back pain, and painful urination after consuming contaminated food. Lab tests confirm Salmonella in urine and blood cultures, indicating Salmonella pyelonephritis., A patient with a history of recurrent UTIs develops similar symptoms after a recent trip abroad.Cultures identify Salmonella as the causative agent, leading to a diagnosis of Salmonella pyelonephritis., An immunocompromised patient develops severe kidney infection following a Salmonella gastroenteritis episode.Imaging and cultures reveal Salmonella pyelonephritis requiring hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics.

Documentation should include signs and symptoms (fever, back pain, dysuria), laboratory results (positive urine and blood cultures for Salmonella), imaging findings (if any), and treatment details (antibiotics, hospitalization).
