Typhoid fever is an acute systemic febrile disease caused by Salmonella typhi. Salmonella infection involves a variety of multiple organs. But ascites with pleural effusion has rarely been reported to occur as a complication of typhoid fever since the medical use of chloramphenicol in Korea. We report two cases of typhoid fever complicated with ascites and pleural effusion and in one of two cases S. typhi was isolated in ascitic fluid.
