| More Details: | Salmonella typhi is the cause of an acute febrile illness with high morbidity and mortality, especially in countries with poor sanitation. Neurological complications of salmonella are severe and usually under-diagnosed. This article reports an extremely rare case of a woman with typhoid fever with a history of travel and consumption of raw fish. She had no sign of meningitis but developed diplopia and sixth nerve palsy, which was ultimately resolved by antibiotic therapy. |
