Multiorgan Dysfunction: A Rare Complication of Typhoid Fever

Abstract

Typhoid fever is a common infection in children in developing countries. Typhoid fever is a systemic illness which affects many organs. Isolated hepatitis, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure complicating typhoid fever are well known. The potential of multiorgan involvement in typhoid fever - on rare occasions - may occur simultaneously in the same patient.
