Abstract

A 16-year-old boy presented with high-grade fever and altered sensorium for 2 days associated with vomiting, headache, and photophobia. After invading the abdominal barrier, Salmonella can enter bloodstream and rarely present with meningitis. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis and culture supported with other investigations can diagnose bacterial meningitis and its causative agent. Adequate treatment is essential to completely cure and prevent relapse. Given its invasive nature and potential serious consequences, such as relapse and antibiotic resistance, prompt, and appropriate treatment of Salmonella meningitis is essential.
