Abstract:
Motor aphasia complicating bacteriologically confirmed typhoid fever in a 20-year-old adult female is presented. Neither the cause of death nor the aetiology of this isolated neurological deficit could be determined from detailed post-mortem examination. An immune related mechanism is suggested based on the temporal characteristics of this complication and CSF abnormalities.
