Abstract
Salmonella panama is group-D nontyphi salmonella strongly associated with invasive infection, including meningitis. So far, no case of S. panama meningitis has been reported from the United States, and none has ever been reported in babies >3.5 months of age. To the best of our knowledge, we are reporting the first such case in English-language literature.
