In developing countries, typhoid fever is a common cause of febrile illness accompanied by abdominal pain and weakness. It is caused by Typhi. Humans are the only known reservoir of infection, and typhoid fever is common in regions where access to clean water and sanitation is limited. The antimicrobials of choice for a case of typhoid fever acquired outside Pakistan are third generation cephalosporins. Lately, cases of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Typhi have been reported in people with a travel history to Pakistan. We present a case of XDR typhoid fever which relapsed after treatment with meropenem.
