Abstract
- Increased antimicrobial resistance to Salmonella species threatens successful treatment of typhoid and other infectious diseases. Consequently, rare complications arising from incompletely treated typhoid could increase in frequency. We describe a case of enteric encephalopathy caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and the utility of adjunct treatment with corticosteroids.
