Salmonella-related meningitis brings greater morbidity and mortality than that caused by other bacteria. We report a case of Salmonella typhimurium meningitis in a male child aged 5½ months who presented with fever, poor feeding, and irritability. Anterior fontanelle was bulged. S. typhimurium was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid. Child was treated with intravenous antibiotics for 4 weeks and he recovered completely.

Abstract The article presents a case with diagnosed Hodgkin disease (HD) during pregnancy. The aim of this case study was to present diagnostic possibilities in determining HD stage during pregnancy and therapeutic dilemmas. The incidence of HD during pregnancy is 3.2% of all cases with this malignant hematological disorder. The treatment of this disease during pregnancy depends on disease-related factors, pregnancy-related factors, as well as possible implications for fetal morbidity and mortality. The need of analysis of the nature of the disease during pregnancy indicates examination of a larger series of pregnant women with HD and the drawn conclusions affect the decision whether chemotherapy treatment should start immediately or it should be postponed for after delivery.

Objective. Pneumocephalus is a rare complication that often occurs after traumatic skull base injury, leading to morbidity and mortality. Material and Method. We present the case of a 42-year-old healthy man who injured himself when he stuck a metal stick into his left nasal cavity to relieve prolonged nasal obstruction. Immediate cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and subsequent meningitis and pneumocephalus occurred later. He was presented at our hospital with fever and meningeal signs. Result. Computed tomography scans revealed left rhinosinusitis and air collection in the subarachnoid space. The patient received the conservative treatment of bed rest, intravenous hydration, head elevation, and broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics. Pneumocephalus and meningitis resolved without any surgery, and he experienced no other sequela or complication. Conclusion. Pneumocephalus is a rare incidence and can lead to high morbidity and mortality. Prompt diagnosis and adequate treatment of pneumocephalus and meningitis proved beneficial for our patient who recovered without any complication or surgery.

To the Editor.— In a case report, Arditi et al1 d cefuroxime treatment failure in a child with Haemophilus influenzae meningitis. They substituted ceftriaxone for cefuroxime, but they did not mention that ceftniaxone treatment regimens have been associated with two problems. The first is the basis of a case report which described delayed sterilization of H influenzae type B meningitis under management with ceftriaxone.2 The infant had a positive cerebrospinal fluid culture after 3 days (six doses) of ceftriaxone.
