Abstract

Typhoid fever (enteric Fever, typhus abdominalis) is still a common
infectious disease in Indonesia, the chief manifestations of which are
in the intestines. It is however not an intestinal disease. The early involvement of Peyer's patches with their subsequent coagulative necrosis and resulting ulcerations is the outstanding pathologic feature. In addition, there are extensive changes in the liver, with involvement of the gall-bladder and bile passages. All this interferes with digestion, but strange to say, to a much less extent than the pathologic anatomy would lead one to expect. In spite of all these changes, food is digested and absorbed remarkably well (Mc. Lester, 1952).
