Although multisystem manifestations such as pancytopenia, electrolyte imbalance, cholestatic hepatitis, and pleural effusion have been reported individually, the coexistence of all four complications in a single patient is exceedingly uncommon and poses substantial diagnostic challenges.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We report the case of a 15-year-old female adolescent with typhoid fever presenting with atypical features, including progressive pancytopenia, severe hyponatremia with hypokalemia, cholestatic hepatitis, and right-sided pleural effusion.

This uncommon constellation may mimic other systemic bacterial infections, such as tuberculosis, in an endemic region like Indonesia, potentially leading to unnecessary invasive procedures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Early recognition of atypical typhoid fever with uncommon multisystem complications is crucial.
