Enteric fever with suspected intestinal perforation and incidental renal cell carcinoma--a case report.
Enteric fever presents with protean manifestations, at times eluding the treating physician. We report the case of a 19-year-old woman whose clinical presentation suggested enteric fever, however, autopsy revealed occult renal cell carcinoma. We emphasise here, the need to investigate non-infective causes of pyrexia.
