SALMONELLA ENTERICA SEROVAR TYPHI (SALMONELLA TYPHI) BRAIN ABSCESS AFTER BRAIN SURGERY: A CASE REPORT
View through CrossRef
Salmonella typhi (Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi) is one of the pathogens responsible for typhoid fever, a major public health problem in low and middle-income countries like Pakistan. Typhoid fever caused by S. typhi can result in severe disease with protean complications like gastrointestinal hemorrhage and perforation, endocarditis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, pneumonia or typhoid encephalopathy but focal intracranial infections like brain abscess is a rare occurrence. We are reporting a case of S. typhi brain abscess in an eleven-year-old boy who was operated for brain tumor and developed S. typhi brain abscess in the post-operative period.
