Intestine is seldom a site of clinical manifestation of malignant hypertension, particularly in childhood. This report deals with a case of malignant nephrosclerosis superimposed on benign nephrosclerosis which probably resulted from a unilateral obstructive uropathy and chronic pyelonephritis. Clinical features included severe hypertension, neuroretinopathy with retinal exudate and hypertensive encephalopathy. An acute abdomen due to transmural infarction of the ileum caused by multiple thrombotic occlusion of necrotizing arteritis involving bowel wall and the mesentery was noted.

Enteric fever is a common infectious disease of the tropical world, about 80% of these cases occur in Asian countries. Enteric fever presenting with isolated cerebellar ataxia or nephritis is rare. We report three cases of enteric fever that presented with these complications. Isolated cerebellar ataxia usually occurs in the second week, whereas in our cases it presented within first four days of fever. The common complications of enteric fever related to the urinary tract are cystitis, pyelitis, and pyelonephritis. Glomerulonephritis is uncommon. Most patients with enteric glomerulonephritis present with acute renal failure, hypertensive encephalopathy, or nephritic syndrome. In comparison, our case had milder manifestations. All three patients were treated with parenteral ceftriaxone and showed a prompt recovery.
