title: Non-typhoid Salmonella meningitis.
abstract: The epidemiological, clinical and laboratory findings in 8 cases of meningitis due to non-typhoid salmonella were analyzed. Seven out of 8 patients were infants < 12 months old, 2 of whom died, 2 presented with recurrent meningitis. Three infants had reversible neurological sequelae on discharge, not found during follow-up in any. Conversely, one 2-month-old patient who was considered normal on discharge developed severe growth and mental retardation during follow-up.
