Two strains of the paratyphoid B-enteritidis group causing separate epidemics of mouse typhoid among 2,500 to 4,000 cancer breeding mice are found to be antigenically different. Mouse Typhoid I, isolated from the first outbreak, is related but not identical with two strains of enteritidis, while Mouse Typhoid II is related to but not identical with the human paratyphoid B strains. In a separate...
BACKGROUND The gold standard for diagnosis of typhoid fever is blood culture (BC). Because blood culture is often not available in impoverished settings it would be helpful to have alternative diagnostic approaches. We therefore investigated the usefulness of clinical signs, WHO case definition and Widal test for the diagnosis of typhoid fever. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Participants with...
A case of typhoid fever with colestatic hepatitis is described, with diagnosis made by stool culture. Examination for malaria, leptospirosis and viral hepatitis were all negatives. These results and the rapid response of the patient to treatment with ciprofloxacin confirmed the diagnosis of typhoid fever and indicate the importance of considering typhoid fever in cases of fever with jaundice.
Fluoroquinolone-resistant typhoid is increasing. An antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic test (RDT) can rapidly diagnose typhoid from blood cultures. A simple, inexpensive molecular technique performed with DNA from positive RDTs accurately identified gyrA mutations consistent with phenotypic susceptibility testing results. Field diagnosis combined with centralized molecular resistance testing co...
This report deals with a young man who developed features of haemophogocytosis during the course of typhoid fever. The pertinent clinical and laboratory features of typhoid-associated haemophagocytosis are discussed. The need for blood component replacement therapy in addition to specific anti-microbials to treat haemophagocytosis complicating typhoid fever is stressed.
© 2011 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors CMAJ, April 19, 2011, 183(7) 773 The Canadian clinician William Osler (1849–1919) wrote the article on “typhoid spine” during the last year of his life while Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University. This commentary looks at Osler’s view of the psychogenic cause of ty phoid spine. Typhoid was a common disease in the late 19th century...
Typhoid fever is a systemic life-threatening infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi occurring more frequently in underdeveloped regions of the world due to overcrowding and poor sanitation. Initiation of appropriate therapy decreases severity and clinical outcome of the disease which requires early and accurate diagnosis. Pathogenesis due to typhoid leads to variou...
(1) Typhoid bacilli were demonstrated in the urines of 9 out of 38 typhoid patients (about 25 per cent). 172 specimens were examined with 44 positive results. (2) The bacilli, when demonstrated, were always present in large numbers and in practically pure culture. (3) The bacilli appeared first in the later stages of the disease and persisted in the great majority of cases far into convalescenc...
BACKGROUND The bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi causes typhoid fever, which is typically associated with fever and abdominal pain. An outbreak of typhoid fever in Malawi-Mozambique in 2009 was notable for a high proportion of neurologic illness. OBJECTIVE Describe neurologic features complicating typhoid fever during an outbreak in Malawi-Mozambique METHODS Persons meeting a clin...
One thousand nine hundred and twenty individuals admitted to the general teaching hospital in Balad City, suffer from abdominal pain, fever, a headache nausea. Acute chronic Typhoid-patients caused by S.typhi were diagnosed according positive blood stool culture respectively, using serological test IgG/ IgM. Out of total 1920 individuals, we documented 312 typhoid-patients S.typhi; 209(67%) urb...
