Encephalopathy associated with Salmonella enteritidis infection. 1994

K Martin, and M Sharland, and E G Davies
Department of Child Health, St. George's Hospital Medical School, London, England.

A 15-year-old boy who presented with a short history of a diarrhoeal illness associated with encephalopathic features is described. Salmonella enteritidis phage type 4 was cultured from his stool. Although encephalopathy in the absence of CNS infection or electrolyte disturbance is well described in enteric fever, it is very rare in infections with non-typhoidal Salmonella serotypes and has not previously been described in association with S. enteritidis infection.
