Massive Lower Gastrointestinal Bleed caused by Typhoid Ulcer: Conservative Management
1Department of General Surgery, Santosh Medical College and Hospital, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Abstract:
Typhoid fever is caused by gram-negative organism Salmonella typhi. The usual presentation is high-grade fever, but complications like gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage and perforation are also seen frequently. With the advent of antibiotics, these complications are rarely seen now. We present a case of a young female who was admitted with a diagnosis of typhoid fever presented with a massive GI bleed from ulcers in the terminal ileum and was managed conservatively without endotherapy and surgery.
