Neuropsychiatric manifestations of typhoid fever.
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.
