Typhoid hepatitis is typhoid fever accompanied by symptoms of jaundice, hepatomegaly and abnormal liver function tests. The incidence varies between 0.4 -26% of typhoid fever patients. We report a case of a 34-yearold male, presented with fever, epistaxis, gastrointestinal symptoms, thrombocytopenia and elevated AST/ALT, thus the patient was first diagnosed as dengue hemorrhagic fever grade II.
