Abstract
Sepsis in neonates may rarely be caused by Salmonella typhi, clinical features of which may remain undifferentiated from other causes of sepsis. The mode of transmission can be vertical or horizontal. This case report describes a 30-day-old female baby, born at 28 weeks of gestation, who presented with features suggestive of sepsis, and there was a growth of Salmonella typhi in the blood culture. The neonate showed evident clinical improvements after 48 hours of antibiotics. The neonate was discharged after three weeks without any immediate adverse effect. The case emphasises the consideration of salmonella sepsis and the possible source of infection in neonates.
