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.
