Neonatal Sepsis Due to Salmonella Typhi – A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Sepsis due to Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is rare in neonates. Salmonellosis is not considered in the differential diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Though described as a mild and self limiting illness in infants, life threatening complications have also been noted. Here we present the case of a 17 day old male baby who was born at 34 weeks of gestational age through NVD at home and fed on cow’s milk since day 1 of life. The case is presented because of its interesting scenario regarding the onset of sepsis and clinical presentation.
