Summary This case report describes a man in whom typhoid fever was initially suspected because of rose spots and pyrexia, but who was later shown to have trichinosis. Rose spots are rare manifestations of trichinosis, but they may belong to the classical maculopapular eruption which has already been described in this disease.
