A case of childhood enteric fever complicated by transient dysautonomia and cerebellitis is reported. The child was treated with intravenous antibiotics, and the complications were managed conservatively. Dysautonomia and cerebellitis resolved by day 5 and day 8 after admission, respectively. Results of a neurologic examination at the end of 6 months were normal. Dysautonomia complicating the course of childhood enteric fever is previously unreported.
