This is a case report of a patient who presented to the Aga Khan University Hospital with generalized abdominal lymphadenopathy and high-grade fever.Due to ambiguous clinical findings,which were suggestive of either abdominal tuberculosis,or a lymphoma,the patient was started on empirical anti-tuberculous treatment due to the endemicity of tuberculosis in this region.The blood culture reports,however,were reported to grow colonies of Salmonella paratyphi A;thus the diagnosis of the patient was changed to enteric fever,and the patient improved on the subsequently started therapy of ceftriaxone 2000 mg bid.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first reported case of a patient suffering from enteric fever whose primary clinical findings were abdominal lymphadenopathy and fever.
