Typhoid fever is an endemic infection in developing countries like India. Oral manifestations of enteric fever and typhoid tonsillitis have rarely been reported in the literature.   We report a 20 year old male, showing tonsillitis to be an integral part of clinical presentation of typhoid fever.The patient presented with fever, throat pain and oral ulcers. Blood culture and swab from tonsils showed significant growth of Salmonella typhi.This case report adds light to tonsillitis as a rare clinical manifestation of typhoid fever.

Infectious diseases are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Sometimes concurrent infections with multiple infectious agents may occur in one patient, which make the diagnosis and management a challenging task. The authors here present a case of co-infection of typhoid fever with dengue fever in a ten-year-old child and discuss the pertinent issues. The authors emphasize that the risk factors predicting the presence of such co-infections, if developed, will be immensely useful in areas where dengue outbreak occurs in the background of high transmission of endemic infections.

Salmonella Typhi is the main cause of an acute febrile, sometimes fatal, multisystemic illness called typhoid fever. The diverse presentations of this disease make it a diagnostic challenge in some patients. Involvement of the neurological system, including cochleovestibular system, is very rare with less than a handful of reported cases. This case report describes the condition of a previously healthy 23-year-old Pakistani man with acute onset of hearing loss associated with fever, headache, and disorientation. The most likely differential diagnoses were bacterial or viral meningoencephalitis, and other bacterial infections, such as Rickettsial and spirochetal diseases. Salmonella Typhi grew on blood culture; thus, treatment with intravenous antibiotics and systemic steroids was provided with excellent response. Hearing loss gradually improved and almost completely resolved within 3 to 4 weeks.
