Preterm delivery and neonatal meningitis due to transplacental acquisition of non-typhoidalSalmonellaserovarmontevideo

Abstract: A male infant was born at 34 weeks' gestation to a primigravida mother. The mother had a history of 1 day of diarrhoea and mild fever 8 days prior to delivery. Her blood culture was negative during the illness and her stool did not grow any pathological organism. The baby had poor feeding during the first day of his life followed by hypoglycaemia and episodes of seizure on day 2 and 3 of life. Blood culture of the baby and placental swab from the mother grew Salmonella serovar montevideo. Both baby and mother … Show more

“…We hope we could improve it in the future. Thirdly, the subjects in this study were restricted to term infants, whereas, the preterm infants are more vulnerable to meningitis, and the outcomes of which are poorer than term infants, [ 4 , 18 , 35 ] so we will conduct a similar study among premature neonates in the future. Fourthly, a confounding factor was not adjusted, which was the glycemic status of patients at the onset of meningitis, and the fluctuation of blood sugar may lead to significant neurological impairment in neonates that biases our results, this should be aware of at the beginning of study, we will revise it in the future.…”

“…relative immune deficiency state, allowing transplacental transmission. 5 Additionally, no specific screening test or method exists to identify NTS in pregnant women, possibly due to the rarity of its incidence. Some strains of NTS can also colonize the mammary glands and be transmitted through breast milk, which is disconcerting considering that breastfeeding also confers a protective effect on infants with regard to salmonellosis infection.…”
