CONTEXT The proportion of paratyphoid fever cases to typhoid fever cases may change due to urbanization and increased dependency on food purchased from street vendors. For containment of paratyphoid a different strategy may be needed than for typhoid, because risk factors for disease may not coincide and current typhoid vaccines do not protect against paratyphoid fever. OBJECTIVE To determine...

Bouchard,~ in 65 cases of typhoid fever, found in the urine no bacteria and no albumin in 44. In 21 cases there were bacteria, and these were always associated with albumin. They were bacilli and were assumed to be typhoid organisms. ttueppe ~ succeeded in obtaining the typhoid bacillus from the urine in only one out of 18 cases. Seitz § obtained positive results in 2 out of 7 cases. The urine ...

Typhoid fever is a serious, systemic infection resulting in nearly 22 million cases and 216,500 deaths annually, primarily in Asia. Safe water, adequate sanitation, appropriate personal and food hygiene, and vaccination are the most effective strategies for prevention and control. In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended use of available typhoid vaccines to control endemic disea...

Cultivation on 10 per cent rabbit blood agar did not affect the agglutinability of fifty-seven strains of typhoid bacilli. The authors were unable to confirm the observations of Gay and Claypole on the variation in agglutinability caused by cultivating the typhoid bacillus on blood agar. A typhoid bacillus showing irregularity in fermentation, agglutination, and indol production is described.

We evaluated the reliability of a passive bacterial agglutination test to detect Salmonella typhi somatic antigen(s) in the sera of patients with typhoid fever. It was positive in 32 of 33 bacteriologically proven typhoid fever cases. Among 13 patients with a presumptive diagnosis of typhoid fever, 11 were positive by passive bacterial agglutination. The serum of one patient with paratyphoid A ...

authentic accounts of typhoid in the native are to be found, and I refer to Dr. Ewart's account of typhoid in the Ajtnere jail, published in the Indian Annals of October 1856, and to Dr. Cleghorn's account of the same disease in the Jounpore jail, published in the Indian Medical Gazette of February last.* I believe the fact that typhoid fever is endemic in Calcutta cannot be questioned. There i...
