abstract: A 1-year-old female patient is described who suffered from sepsis and endophthalmitis due to Salmonella typhimurium. This Salmonella species rarely causes septicemic syndrome or focal infection of body organs. As far as we know this is the first case report of endophthalmitis caused by S typhimurium despite its high frequency among Salmonella infections not caused by S typhi.
