  • Title: Sepsis and multiple brain abscesses caused by Salmonella paratyphi B in an infant: successful treatment with sulbactam-ampicillin and surgical drainage.
    Author: Yildiran A, Siga E, Baykal S, Okten A.
    Journal: Turk J Pediatr; 2001; 43(1):85-7. PubMed ID: 11297167.
    Abstract:
    Abscess formation by Salmonella species is an uncommon but significant manifestation of salmonellosis, because this type of infection has high morbidity and mortality rates and is a potential nosocomial hazard. In infants, history of consumption of contaminated water should be especially quired. We report a case who had sepsis and multiple brain abscesses due to Salmonella paratyphi B and who responded to sulbactam-ampicillin (SAM) therapy. Sulbactam-ampicillin combination may be preferable due to its immunomodulator effect.
