Generally it depends on which type of Salmonella spp. is asked.

Salmonella typhi is the most pathogenic one causing typhoid fever. The patient has an increasing fever after about a week after ingestion. Symptoms are headache, diarrhea, myalgia, anorexia and later to Typhus( delirium) and further complications such as meningitis, hepatosplenomegaly, myocarditis and an interstital pneumonia.
The most severe part is a perforation of the GI tract and a mostly deadly peritonitis.

This count for S. typhi, other Salmonella strains cause much less severe gastroenteritis and are self limited.
