Abstract
Typhoid fever continues to represent a significant public health concern in the developing world. With the rise in global travel, increasing population diversity, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains, clinicians must remain vigilant to both the disease and its potential complications. Among these, acalculous cholecystitis is an uncommon but clinically important complication. While the majority of reported cases in the literature involve paediatric patients, reports in adults remain scarce. We present the case of a 25-year-old traveler who developed acute acalculous cholecystitis as a complication of typhoid fever, a rare occurrence in adults that underscores the need for clinical vigilance.
