    Typhoid fever is a systemic infection caused by Salmonella typhi, which may be associated with extra-intestinal
    complications. Neurological manifestations, particularly Parkinsonism, are rarely reported. We report a
    17-year-old patient with relapsed culture-proven Salmonella typhi infection who developed septic shock and
    subsequently Parkinsonism. Lumbar puncture revealed acellular cerebrospinal fluid with raised protein level.
    Magnetic resonance imaging revealed cerebral petechial haemorrhages resulted from small vessels vasculitis.
    His symptoms resolved spontaneously after 3 months.
