Officials probe salmonella cases at Detroit hospital

More than a dozen patients at a Detroit hospital were sickened last week with salmonella from an unknown source, officials said. There is no evidence the illness spread through food to infect 14 patients at Henry Ford Hospital, according to a statement from hospital officials. Seven patients remain hospitalized but "are doing well," officials said Wednesday. They are in isolation as a precaution. No new patients have been identified this week, officials said. "Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is working in partnership with Henry Ford Hospital to investigate this occurrence," officials said in the statement. "Salmonella is not typically life-threatening and, in most cases, goes away in less than a week, even if untreated."
