More Information
Summary:The liver and the gallbladder are also constantly involved during the development of typhoid fever, and the major clinical complications results from ulceration or perforation of the ileum and cecum or from acute cholecystitis. The data raises the question whether bile acid metabolism changes during the progress of typhoid fever. The authors determined the size and composition of the bile acid pool in patients with typhoid fever during the second week of the disease. These data were compared with those obtained from normal control subjects of similar age and social background.
