There are multiple different types of salmonella infections. They typical serotype in Africa is invasive, meaning it’s in the blood and people can become septic. This one appears to be non-invasive, it is similar to food poisoning.
And the latter being the article being based on? Makes sense, thank you! You’d still expect most of the people die due the invasive strain, but its probably people with abnormal immune response such as elderly and immuno compromised people.
