Abstract
Enteric fever is a common bacterial illness caused by ingesting contaminated food and water in developing countries. It includes typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella typhi and parathyroid fever, caused by Salmonella Paratyphi A and B. Paratyphoid fever is uncommon and relatively milder compared to typhoid fever. Gastrointestinal involvement is frequent in enteric fever; commonly involved sites are the terminal ileum, ileocecal valves, and ascending and transverse colon, respectively. Involvement of descending colon is rare. Herein, we present a rare case of pancolitis in paratyphoid fever.
