Abstract
Typhoid fever is an infectious disease that is usually treated medically and rarely needs surgical intervention. In this paper, we report three cases of severe colonic involvement in salmonella infection in patients traveling in or coming from endemic areas, resulting in ulceration and massive anorectal bleeding.
