Abstract
Meningitis caused by Salmonella species is not uncommon in many developing countries. Patients suspected of bacterial meningitis who were admitted to Siriraj Hospital were enrolled in this study during 1986-2001. There were only 19 cases of Salmonella meningitis. Salmonella serogroup D ranked first, followed by serogroup C, serogroup B and then serogroup H. Most patients were children under 1 year of age. The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern for Salmonella meningitis may provide a guideline for the selection of appropriate drug treatment.
