Abstract
Neurological manifestations of enteric fever are well known. However, isolated cranial nerve palsies are rare. A 4-year-old boy and two girls aged 5 and 11 years with culture-proven typhoid fever are described, two of whom developed palatal palsy and the other sixth cranial nerve palsy. Following treatment, there was complete resolution of the cranial nerve palsies within 5-7 weeks. While palatal palsy is reported rarely, isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy associated with typhoid has not been reported previously.
