Salmonella Meningitis: a Report from National Hue Central Hospital, Vietnam

[摘要] References(10)Four Vietnamese infants who survived infection with Salmonella meningitis are reported. A female infant who experienced relapse recovered without complications and another had neurological sequellae. The remaining 2 infants survived without complications. The initial treatment was chloramphenicol and ceftriaxone, whereas a change of antibiotics to imipenem and fluoroquinolone was required for 2 infants. Fluoroquinolone may be a treatment option in patients with Salmonella meningitis who experience complications even though the drug is contraindicated for the pediatric age group.
