Abstract
Acute Salmonella typhi meningitis is rare in neonates, mostly reported from developing countries with poor socioeconomic conditions. A male Caucasian newborn presented with acute Salmonella typhi meningitis at the age of 25 days. His parents had traveled across several African countries under rudimentary hygienic conditions a few months before his birth. Despite early and adapted antibiotic therapy (cefotaxime plus netilmycine), the child developed ischemia in the region of the left sylvian artery. Salmonella meningitis must be considered while dealing with a sick newborn whose mother has traveled across countries with endemic typhoid.
