abstract: Neuropsychiatric manifestations of typhoid fever are not uncommon, occurring in 18 of 40 consecutive patients at the University Hospital of the West Indies. The clinical presentation ranges from a confusional state to hallucinations or meningism, and the diagnosis may be missed or unduly delayed unless there is a strong index of suspicion.
