Typhoid fever is a systemic infection caused by Salmonella typhi, which may be associated with extra-intestinal complications. Neurological manifestations, particularly Parkinsonism, are rarely reported. We report a 17-year-old patient with relapsed culture-proven Salmonella typhi infection who developed septic shock and subsequently Parkinsonism. Lumbar puncture revealed acellular cerebrospinal fluid with raised protein level. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed cerebral petechial haemorrhages resulted from small vessels vasculitis. His symptoms resolved spontaneously after 3 months.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
