Abstract
Sepsis due to Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is rare in neonates. Salmonellosis is not considered in the differential diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Though described as a mild and self limiting illness in infants, life threatening complications have also been noted. Here we present the case of a 17 day old male baby who was born at 34 weeks of gestational age through NVD at home and fed on cow’s milk since day 1 of life. The case is presented because of its interesting scenario regarding the onset of sepsis and clinical presentation.
