Abstract

Salmonella is an important public health pathogen through out the world. Salmonella meningitis is a rare form (incidence <1%), Young children remain the age group that is predominantly effected, 89% were less than a year old. The case fatality rate for Salmonella meningitis was high. Furthermore Salmonella infections resistant to antimicrobial agent are now frequently and rates of multidrug have increased in recently years. Third generation cephalosporins and Fluoroquinolones had a high cure rate and lowered the associated mortality.

Meningitis caused by Salmonella panama is rare and report in neonate and very younginfant. It is strongly associated with invasive infection, including meningitis in children.

A 3.5 –month-old infant was admitted with a history of seizure and diarrhea. Salmonella panama (group D) culture was isolate from the CSF. A computerized scan of brain revealed no abnormalities. The infant was treated with ceftriazone and ciprofloxacin intravenously for 4 weeks. He reached his development milestones and no recurrence after 1 year follow up.
