Typhoid meningitis in a two-month-old child. P. S. Dukakis (J. Am. Med. As., 1927, vol. 89, no. 27)
Meningitis, as a complication of typhoid fever, is very rare, and in young children meningitis is also often seen. Therefore, the following case of Dr. P. S. Dukakis is of great interest: the disease began with regurgitation and elevation of t° to 39° C., after 6 days we noticed protrusion of fontanelle, neck stiffness, nystagmus; lumbar puncture obtained turbid fluid, in which was found non-staining Gram'y bacillus, which turned out during further examination to be typhoid; we could not obtain cultures from blood, but we found typhoid bacillus in urine, and in faeces - b. B. paratyphi.
