Abstract

Parainfectious myopathy is a rare complication of Salmonella infection. We report an immunocompetent young patient presenting with acute bilateral lower limb weakness and markedly elevated creatine kinase. Blood cultures confirmed Salmonella sp. Prompt treatment with meropenem and azithromycin resulted in reducing CK level from 1854 to 240 U/L.
