Abstract

We experienced a case of salmonella group C meningits in a 3 month old male. His initial chief complaints at the admission were high fever, lethargy, irregular respiration and arrythmias. Diagnosis was confirmed by lumbar puncture, blood culture and CSF culture. Ceftriaxone was used and recovered with some sequelae such as irritability, generalized spasticity and mild regression of psychomotor development.
