[Acute encephalopathy in salmonella infection].
While infections with salmonella typhi may frequently result in encephalopathy, this complication is rare in infections with salmonella enteritidis and has been rarely reported. We report about a 21 months old girl which developed encephalopathy with convulsion, ataxia and cortical blindness following salmonella infection. Moreover, we show a summary of ten previous case reports.
