Neonatal salmonella typhi meningitis: a rare entity

Vikram Singhal et al. J Clin Diagn Res. 2012 Oct.

Abstract

Salmonella meningitis is rarely seen in neonates and if it is present, it is associated with complications like subdural collections and abscesses. We are presenting a case of Salmonella meningitis in a 28 days old neonate who developed complications like extensive subdural collections and ventriculitis. The child responded well to prolonged systemic antibiotics and other supportive measures.

Keywords: Complications; Meningitis; Neonate.
