Abstract:
Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi) is a well-known pathogen responsible for typhoid fever, characterised by gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms. Complications typically involve the gastrointestinal tract, while extraintestinal manifestations are rare. Rhabdomyolysis is an unusual complication of S. Typhi infection. The exact pathophysiology of rhabdomyolysis in this context is unknown and may be due to a multitude of factors. We present a case of S. Typhi infection resulting in rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury.
