ABSTRACT

La meningoencefalitis por bacilos gramnegativos ha ido incrementándose desde la década de los 70, con una mayor incidencia en niños pequeños, aunque existe una tendencia a aumentar en pacientes de la 3ra. edad. Dentro de este grupo de microorganismos, la causada por Salmonella sp, por su poca frecuencia, resulta una rareza. En este caso se presenta a una paciente de 80 años de edad con cuadro clínico de meningoencefalitis, que en el estudio del líquido cefalorraquídeo se aisló Salmonella grupo B serotipo typhimurium; la paciente fallece a los 5 días de su ingreso. La meningoencefalitis por Salmonella sp debe tenerse en cuenta en pacientes menores de 2 años de edad y ancianos, por la severidad del cuadro clínico y elevada mortalidad.


Meningoencephalitis caused by gram-negative bacilli has increased since the 1970s, with a higher incidence in little children , although there is a a trend to rise in the elderly. Within this group of micororganisms, the meningoencephalitis caused by Salmonella sp is rare, since it is not very common. The case of an 80-year-old female patient with a clinical picture of meningoencephalitis is reported. Salmonella typhimurium serogroup B was isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid. The patient died 5 days after being admitted in the hospital. The meningoencephalitis caused by Salmonella sp should be taken into consideration in children under 2 and in the elederly because of the severity of the clinical picture and the elevated mortality.
