An Unusual Hematological Complication of Typhoid Fever Case Report.

Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella species. The most common hematological complications described are anemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Splenic infarction is an unusual complication of typhoid fever, and this presentation is rarely described. We report the case of a young female who presented with complaints of severe left upper quadrant pain after being diagnosed with typhoid fever. Computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple wedge-shaped splenic infarcts. She was treated with antibiotics and was also started on antiplatelets. She had a complete recovery with this management, and antiplatelets were tapered off on subsequent visits.
