Abstract

Salmonella is an uncommon cause of meningitis, especially after neurosurgery. Here, we present a case of Salmonella meningitis after craniotomy, likely due to physical contact with a snake after surgery, with contiguous spread from the patient's hand to her wound. The purpose of this report is to serve as a reminder that patients undergoing neurosurgery should avoid contact with pets, including snakes and other reptiles, in the postoperative period and practice good hand hygiene.

摘要

沙门氏菌是脑膜炎的罕见病因，尤其是在神经外科手术后。在此，我们报告一例开颅术后沙门氏菌脑膜炎病例，可能是由于术后与蛇有身体接触，病菌从患者手部蔓延至伤口。本报告的目的是提醒接受神经外科手术的患者在术后应避免接触宠物，包括蛇和其他爬行动物，并保持良好的手部卫生习惯。
