Abstract (2. Language): 
Salmonella infections in children usually present with self limiting gastroenteritis. These infections rarely affect the central nervous sytem and are usually seen under the age of 2 years. In this article, a 12-year-old male patient is presented who was admitted with the complaint of convulsions. On examination, the protein was found to be increased in the cerebrospinal fluid and no cell was observed on direct microscopy. Electroencephalogram and brain magnetic resonance imaging findings were consistent with encephalitis and the agent of encephalitis was found to be Salmonella Typhi. The case was presented in order to remind that Salmonella Typhi can be observed within encephalitis agents, albeit rarely observed.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Salmonella enfeksiyonları çocuklarda kendini sınırlayan gastroenterit enfeksiyonları şeklinde ortaya çıkar. Salmonella enfeksiyonları nadiren merkezi sinir sistemi enfeksiyonu şeklinde karşımıza çıkar. Salmonellalara bağlı merkezi sinir sistemi enfeksiyonlarının yaklaşık %83’ü 2 yaşın altında görülür. Bu makalede, konvülziyon şikayetiyle getirilen, beyin omirilik sıvısı incelemesinde protein artışı olup mikroskopla direk bakıda hücre görülmeyen elektroensefalogram ve beyin magnetik rezonans incelemesi ensefalitle uyumlu olan takiplerde ensefalit etkeni olarak Salmonella Typi tespit edilen oniki yaşında erkek sunulmuştur. Vaka ensefalit etkenleri arasında nadirde olsa Salmonella Typi görülebileceğini hatırlatmak vurgulamak amacıyla sunuldu.
