Abstract
Abstract
Background
Typhoid fever can manifest with a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms. However, in the present-day era, gastrointestinal bleeding related to bowel ulceration is becoming increasingly sporadic especially in the urban setting.
Case presentation
We present a rare case of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding from a typhoid ileal ulcer that was successfully managed with endoscopic therapy.
Conclusion
Though rare, this infective cause of gastrointestinal bleeding should still be considered in differential diagnosis, especially in developing countries.
