Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis Due to Salmonella enterica Serovar 4,5,12:i:-: A Case Report with Literature Review.
The authors report a case of a 36-week male infant born via spontaneous vaginal delivery who developed Salmonella sepsis at HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center Srinakharinwirot University, Nakhon Nayok, Thailand. He was born to a mother without identifiable risk factors. On day 3, he developed fever tachycardia, lethargy, poor feeding and diarrhea prompting a sepsis evaluation. Blood and stool cultures were positive for S. enterica serovar 4,5,12:i:-. Therefore, Salmonella infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of early onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) particularly in endemic areas.
