Abstract :

Typhoid fever, a common infectious disease may present with only a feile illness or with various life threatening intestinal as well as extraintestinal complications. Resistance to multiple antibiotics including 3^rd generation cephalosporins is emerging and posing serious health problems. We report a case of Typhoid fever who presented with high grade fever, thrombocytopenia, hepatitis, myocarditis and milliary nodules in the lung. Salmonella Typhi isolated from bone marrow showed resistance to multiple drugs.
