Abstract

Salmonella species may cause wide spectrum of infections changing from enterocolitis to sepsis. However, Salmonella meningitis in adults is a rare but important clinical condition with a high mortality rate. In this report, a 71 years old male patient with Salmonella enteritidis meningitis who was followed-up with the diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenic purpura and had been administered azothioprin and prednisolone, has been presented and similar cases in the literature have been reviewed. The cerebrospinal fluid culture yielded S.enteritidis, and the isolate was intermediate susceptible to ampicillin, susceptible to cefotaxime, trimethoprim-sulphametoxasole, ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol. Our patient was successfully treated with ceftriaxone (2x2 gr i.v) and discharged with total cure.

Özet

Salmonella türleri enterokolitten sepsise kadar pek çok değişik enfeksiyona neden olabilir. Salmonella menenjiti ise erişkin hastalarda nadir olarak görülmesine rağmen yüksek mortalitesi nedeniyle önemli bir klinik durumdur. Bu raporda, immün trombositopenik purpura tanısı ile takip edilen ve azotioprin ve prednizolon tedavisi alan 71 yaşında bir erkek hastada ortaya çıkan Salmonella enteritidis menenjiti bildirilmekte ve literatürdeki benzer olgular tartışılmaktadır. Beyin omurilik sıvısı kültüründe, ampisiline orta duyarlı; sefotaksim, trimetoprim-sulfametoksazol, siprofloksasin ve kloramfenikole duyarlı S.enteritidis üremesi saptanan hasta, seftriakson (2x2 gr i.v) ile tedavi edilerek şifa ile taburcu edilmiştir.
