Typhoid glomerulonephritis and intestinal perforation in a Nigerian child.

[typhoid]

The number of children with renal complications following salmonella infection can not be precisely defined in the sub-Saharan Africa due to scarcity of reliable data . We report a 3 -year -old boy with glomerulonephritis secondary to typhoid infection and later intestinal perforation . He presented with fever , generalized body swelling , oliguria , coke- colored urine and hypertension and had been managed 3 weeks earlier for typhoid fever in a private hospital . Laboratory investigations showed proteinuria , hematuria with red cell casturia and azotemia . Abdominal X-ray done was suggestive of typhoid intestinal perforation that was confirmed at exploratory laparotomy . He was managed aggressively with antibiotics and was discharged on the 25 th day of admission . To the best of our knowledge , this is the first documented case report of acute glomerulonephritis and intestinal perforation as co -complications of salmonella infection in Nigeria .
