Recurrent meningitis due to Salmonella enteritidis: A case report from Kashmir India. Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology. 2012 Oct-Dec; 30(4): 474-476.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/144014Recurrent bacterial meningitis in children is potentially life-threatening and induces psychological trauma to the patients through repeated hospitalization. Here we report a case of recurrent meningitis in a one month old baby. The CSF and blood culture grew Salmonella enteritidis. Injection ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone were given for 3 weeks. Baby became symptomatically better and was afebrile at discharge. Twenty eight days after discharge baby got readmitted with complaints of fever and refusal of feeds. Blood and CSF culture again showed growth of Salmonella enteritidis. Physicians should be educated about the possibility of recurrence which may occur days or even weeks after apparent successful antibiotic treatment.enSalmonella enteritidismeningitisrecurrenceAnti-Bacterial Agents --therapeutic useFemaleHumansIndia --epidemiologyInfantInfant, NewbornMeningitis, Bacterial --drug therapyMeningitis, Bacterial --epidemiologyRecurrenceSalmonella enteritidis --drug effectsSalmonella enteritidis --pathogenicitySalmonella Infections --complicationsSalmonella Infections --drug therapySalmonella Infections --epidemiologyArticle
