The mortality and morbidity of salmonella meningitis in infancy is high. For infants and especially those younger than 6 months of age with salmonellosis, close observation is needed because of increased incidence of salmonella meningitis. A minimum duration of five weeks of susceptible antibiotic therapy may be indicated to prevent relapse or reinfection of salmonella meningitis. The role of a carrier in relapse needs to be evaluated.
婴儿期沙门氏菌脑膜炎的死亡率和发病率很高。对于患有沙门氏菌病的婴儿，尤其是6个月以下的婴儿，由于沙门氏菌脑膜炎的发病率增加，需要密切观察。可能需要进行至少为期五周的敏感抗生素治疗，以预防沙门氏菌脑膜炎的复发或再次感染。需要评估带菌者在复发中的作用。
