Abstract

The case history of a neonatal infection caused by Salmonella enteritidis group D is presented. The mother suffered from gastroenteritis 1 week ante partum. The newborn was treated with ampicillin, gentamicin and later amoxicillin but 5 months later was still a carrier of Salmonella. The possible route of infection and the guidelines for therapy and management of Salmonella infections during pregnancy and puerperium are discussed.
