Abstract

Typhoid fever in pregnancy may result in infection of the fetus, with consequent abortion. Currently, it is a rare complication of pregnancy in the industrially developed countries. This report documents a case of maternal typhoid fever with septic abortion, in which trans-placental infection of the fetus caused its demise.
