Author(s): Saranya Devi K*, R Vedamanickam and Devang J. Barad
Abstract
Enteric fever is a systemic illness which affects many organs. The potential of multiorgan involvement in enteric fever, rarely, may occur simultaneously in the same patient. We wish to report a case of Enteric Fever which, subsequently, progressed to Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS). Timely diagnosis, prompt treatment and proper monitoring are the key factors to obtain a favourable outcome.
