Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis Due to Salmonella enterica Serovar 4,5,12:i:-: A Case Report with Literature Review. J Med Assoc Thai. 2015 Nov;98 Suppl 10:S143-6 Authors: Vongbhavit K, Itdhi S, Panburana J, Prommalikit O Abstract 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. PMID: 27276847 [PubMed - in process]
