title: Encephalopathy associated with Salmonella enteritidis infection.
abstract: 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.
