ABSTRACT
A case of typhoid fever with colestatic hepatitis is described, with diagnosis made by stool culture. Examination for malaria, leptospirosis and viral hepatitis were all negatives. These results and the rapid response of the patient to treatment with ciprofloxacin confirmed the diagnosis of typhoid fever and indicate the importance of considering typhoid fever in cases of fever with jaundice.
