Typhoid fever complicated by acute renal fever

Description

Abstract:
Typhoid Fever is a common infection in Haiti, where a lack of public health and sanitation infrastructure leads to yearly outbreaks. Infection with Salmonella Typhi has been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute renal failure.1 Delays in obtaining antibiotic cultures has led to a treat-first-diagnose-later approach. We investigated the role of various iatrogenic factors in the rapid decline in kidney function associated with typhoid glomerulonephritis.
