Overview
Common physical examination findings of typhoid fever include stepwise increase in temperature, bradycardia,[1] abdominal tenderness, and hepatosplenomegaly initially. In the third week of illness the patient may present with signs of complications.[2][3] Physical examination findings are dependent upon the timing of presentation.
