Salmonella typhi meningitis

ABSTRACT

Salmonella typhi is commonly isolated from the blood of febrile patients, but meningeal involvement and its isolation from cerebrospinal fluid is a rare occurence. We report here a case of Salmonella typhi meningitis in an infant eight months old. Although the meningitis was treated appropriately but the outcome was an infarct in the left cerebral hemisphere leading to right sided hemiperesis
