“…Pet-owners may be unaware that most reptiles carry and intermittently excrete Salmonella species in their faeces 5 . The contaminated environment, or other people within that environment, may also be sources of infection: this is not the ®rst case in which the patient did not have direct contact with the reptile 1 . When encountered in human clinical specimens, reptileassociated Salmonella serotypes such as S. java, S. stanley, S. marina, S. poona and S. pomona should always raise the possibility of exposure to reptiles.…”

Salmonella species are a rare cause of bacterial meningitis, affecting mainly infants and the immunocompromised. Human salmonellosis associated with exotic pets has increased 1. CASE HISTORY A 27-day-old baby boy was seen with an 8-hour history of irritability and poor feeding. His birth had been uncomplicated and he had been well since. On examination, he was lethargic and febrile (38.78C) and had a diffuse erythematous rash. His fontanelle was normal. The white cell count was 12.5610 9 /L (neutrophils 66%). Sepsis was suspected and intravenous saline and cefotaxime were started. Cerebrospinal¯uid showed 1500 polymorphs and 100 lymphocytes/mL, no red cells, no organisms on the Gram stain, protein 1.4 g/L, and glucose 2.7 mmol/L (serum glucose 7.4 mmol/L). Ampicillin and gentamicin were added to cover Listeria monocytogenes. The next day, culture of the cerebrospinal¯uid grew a Salmonella species. Treatment was continued with cefotaxime alone. The baby lived with his parents and eight-year-old brother; no one had recently had diarrhoea and stool cultures from all four family members yielded no pathogens. The Laboratory of Enteric Pathogens in Colindale, UK, identi®ed the organism as Salmonella poona, a serotype found mainly in reptiles. Further questioning of the family revealed that they owned a green iguana (Iguana iguana), which was handled only by the father and not allowed out of its tank. The iguana was healthy but was excreting S. poona indistinguishable from the ®rst isolate. Environmental swabs taken in the family home grew S. poona from the vacuum cleaner and the iguana tank. The baby recovered clinically and completed a 22-day course of intravenous antibiotics. Repeat lumbar puncture
