Unusual hepatic manifestations in typhoid fever.
This paper deals with two patients with typhoid fever in whom hepatic manifestations were the dominant and presenting features of the illness. The ability of typhoid hepatitis to simulate other common infectious diseases in this region is highlighted. It is recommended that typhoid hepatitis should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with fever and jaundice particularly in the tropics.
