A disease or condition characterized by enlarged adenoids combined with symptoms resembling typhoid fever.
From 'aden' (gland) + 'typhus' (typhoid fever), a combined medical term from the 1800s attempting to classify febrile infections with prominent lymphoid involvement.
Adenotyphus represents a pre-modern diagnostic approach where doctors invented disease names based on visible symptoms rather than understanding the actual infection-causing agents—a reminder that medical naming was once very different from today.
