Salmonella enterica serovar Weltevreden is an uncommon cause of gastroenteritis occurring worldwide. For the first time, we report 2 cases of neonatal sepsis caused by S. Weltevreden from Hubli, India. In the first case, the neonate had features of septicemia and S. Weltevreden was isolated from a blood culture. The other neonate had omplalitis and clinical features of septicemia. S. enterica serovar Weltevreden was isolated from the umbilical swab culture of this neonate. Even though extensive investigations were conducted, the source of infection could not be identified. Both neonates recovered completely after appropriate antibiotic and supportive therapy.
肠炎沙门氏菌韦尔太夫雷登血清型是一种在全球范围内引起肠胃炎的罕见病因。我们首次报告了2例由来自印度胡布利的韦尔太夫雷登血清型沙门氏菌引起的新生儿败血症病例。第一例中，新生儿具有败血症特征，血液培养分离出了韦尔太夫雷登血清型沙门氏菌。另一例新生儿患有脐炎和败血症临床特征。从该新生儿的脐拭子培养物中分离出了肠炎沙门氏菌韦尔太夫雷登血清型。尽管进行了广泛调查，但感染源仍无法确定。经过适当的抗生素和支持治疗后，两名新生儿均完全康复。
