Co-infection of Coronavirus Omicron variant and Salmonella Meningoencephalitis

Abstract:

It has been considered that viral infections predispose patients to bacterial infections due to immunosuppression.3 However, it is still unclear what exact roles co-infections play in patients with COVID-19 infection1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines co -infection as an infection concurrent with the initial infection. This report discusses a case of meningoencephalitis presenting with seizures. Notable in this case was the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and Salmonella in the CSF.
