Abstract
Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) encephalopathy is characterized by rapidly progressive brain dysfunction that develops after NTS enteritis.

We examined cerebrospinal fluids from 7 patients for cytokines and found elevated interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 concentrations in all the patients, suggesting that the proinflammatory cytokines are involved in the pathogenesis of NTS encephalopathy.
