Salmonella Meningitis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report.

Salmonella meningitis is an uncommon infection in adults. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with a history of lupus on immunosuppressive treatment with mycophenolate mofetil and prednisolone who presented with confusional syndrome preceded by headache and fever. A lumbar puncture revealed bacterial meningitis with Salmonella species. She was treated with ceftriaxone with a good clinical and biological outcome.
