Abstract |
|---|
The authors present a case of Salmonella sepsis and meningitis with a recurrence of the meningitis in a 36-year-old Hispanic, male AIDS patient. They discuss the mechanisms and routes in general and speculate on these items in this patient from the information available. Meningitis diagnosis and treatment in general and specifically in Salmonella cases are reviewed as well as the variations in AIDS patients. The probable reasons for the recurrence and etiology are discussed.
