Retrospective Description of 27 Cases of Nontyphoidal Salmonella Meningitis in Pediatrics Over 22 Years in France Pleads for a Revision of Age Limit for the Treatment of Salmonella Gastroenteritis in Children
We report 27 nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) meningitis in children. Infants under 3 months and those 3-4 months of age were nearly equal in number (11 vs. 10). No children died, but 48% experienced complications. Our findings suggest extending antibiotic therapy for nontyphoidal Salmonella gastroenteritis to infants under 5 months instead of 3 months.
