A rare case of meningitis due to Salmonella typhi in a nine month old infant

Abstract

Salmonella typhi is a rare cause of bacterial meningitis in infants accounting for 1% or less of cases. We report a rare case of meningitis in a nine-month-old baby due to Salmonella typhi. A nine-month-old female was admitted to our tertiary care hospital, with a week’s history of fever with rigors and refusal to take feeds.
