Title
Diagnosis by selective arteriography in hemorrhage resulting from typhoid fever
Two cases of complicating hemorrhage resulting from typhoid fever which were demonstrated by selective superior mesenteric arteriography are presented. The site of bleeding was at the caecum which is an uncommon site in typhoid hemorrhage. In both cases there was failure to stop the bleeding by using a vasopressin infusion. However, arteriography proved very helpful in locating the site of bleeding and vasopressin infusion can still be recommended to decrease intraluminal hemorrhage and improve the general condition of the patient before undergoing operation.
