[Complications of typhoid fever].
The authors report the complications noted in the course of 120 cases of typhoid fever. Intestinal hemorrhages and ileal perforations were the most frequent complications observed, respectively, among 12.5% and 3.3% of patients. Neuropsychiatric manifestations were also frequent: 6.7% of cases. Only one death was noted (0.8%). According to this high rate of complications, typhoid fever must be managed under hospital conditions.
