Abstract: Enteric fever (EF or typhoid) is a common infectious disease. It is a common cause of morbidity and hospital admission in developing countries like India. We report a case of Cholestatic Hepatitis secondary to enteric fever in a 42-year-old male who was admitted to our medical emergency unit with chief complaints of fever for 9 days followed by anorexia, abdominal discomfort and jaundice. He recovered completely to prompt administration of appropriate antibiotic therapy with supportive management.
