This observational study identifies electrolyte abnormalities in adults with enteric fever, suggesting early monitoring improves outcomes.
Hyponatremia and reduced bicarbonate were the most common electrolyte abnormalities in enteric fever, whereas potassium and chloride disturbances were uncommon. Routine electrolyte monitoring should be incorporated into the management of hospitalized enteric fever patients to enable early correction and improved clinical outcomes.
