Massive Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding Due to Typhoid Fever: A Case Report

Abstract

Typhoid fever is a systemic infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. It is characterized by fever, headache, malaise, anorexia, relative bradycardia, constipation or diarrhea. Gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the major intestinal complication of typhoid fever. However, typhoid fever complicated by massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding has rarely been reported in the literature. It is important to include this disease in the differential diagnosis of massive lower gastrointestinal haemorrhage. The classic approach to the management of intestinal haemorrhage due to typhoid infection has been conservative. In the event of massive haemorrhage which does not respond to conservative measures, emergency resection should be considered. Here, we present a case of typhoid fever complicated by massive lower intestinal bleeding and treated conservatively by medical agents.
