Typhoid FeverTyphoid Fever
l Typhoid fever is an acute systemic infection caused by Salmonella entericaserotype typhi or paratyphi, characterized by constitutional and gastrointestinal symptoms

OrganismOrganism
l Salmonella typhi, a Gram-negative bacteria.
l Similar but often less severe disease is caused by Salmonella serotype paratyphi A & B.
l Contains 3 important antigens:1. O antigen: a lipopolysaccharide part of the cell wall. It is an
important pathogenic factor and is common for typhi and paratyphi species (group-specific)
2. H or flagellar antigen: strain specific; important in diagnosis
3. Polysaccharide capsule Vi: present in about 90% of all freshly isolated S. typhi and has a protective effect against the bactericidal action of the serum of infected patients.
S. typhiS. typhi
TransmissionTransmission
l Reservoir is chronic carriers: Organisms may live for months or years in the Gall Bladders of carriers and are passed intermittently in stool and less frequently in urine.
l Infection occurs by fecal-oral route. Common sources are infected water supply and polluted vegetables and food. Direct contact and insects as flies play a minor role.
l Occurrence of clinical disease depends on the amount of infecting organism.

Pathology of typhoid feverPathology of typhoid fever
Clinical features: symptomsClinical features: symptomsClassic disease passes into 3 stages each lasting one week:
First week- Fever : Temp rises gradually in a stepladder
manner.- Headache, malaise, myalgia, drowsiness- Abdominal pain and distension, constipation
(pea-soup diarrhea and vomiting in children)- Cough, sore throat

Clinical features: symptomsClinical features: symptomsl Second week
Patient is more ill, prostrated with continuous high fever. Abdominal symptoms are more severe with jaundice in some cases. Others may have delerium or stupor.
l Third week Cure or Complications ?Untreated, patients may improve gradually or toxaemia increases and pass into coma (typhoid state). This is rare now and the course is modified by the early use of antibiotics.

l Fine rose-spot rash on the trunk appearing on the 4th – 5th day of fever, more in whites. Rash fades on pressure and disappears in 3-4 days.
l Coated tongue
l Diffuse abdominal distension and tenderness. Rigidity and rebound tenderness suggest intestinal perforation.
l Mild splenomegaly is detectable by the end of first week. Hepatmegaly and jaudice are uncommon.
l Delerium, stupor. Sign of meningism are occasional.
l Leucopenia is typical. Leucocytosis (and tachycardia) suggest a complication as intestinal bleeding or perforation.

Laboratory diagnosis : CultureLaboratory diagnosis : Culture
l Culture: is essential for diagnosis. – Blood culture is positive in >70% in the first week and rate
of positivity declines thereafter. – Bone marrow aspirate culture gives the highest yield all
through the disease and should be performed in presence of a negative blood culture.
– Urine culture is positive in 10% temporarily in the first week. – Stool culture is positive in 30% in the 2nd and 3rd weeks but
is difficult and unreliable due to presence of other Salmonellae in stool.
Laboratory Diagnosis: Widal testAgglutination test that detects antibodies against S. typhi and paratyphi
in the patient’s serum. Involves reaction against 5 antigens : O antigen and H antigens of typhi
and paratyphi A, B & C; O antibodies appear on days 6-8 and H antibodies on days 10-12.
The role of Widal test in diagnosis of typhoid vever is complicated by:1. False negative results in up to 30% of culture-proven cases of typhoid
fever2. False positive results: S. typhi shares O and H antigens with other
Salmonella serotypes and has cross-reacting epitopes with other Enterobacteriacae
3. Results should be interpreted with care in accordance with appropriate local cut-off values for the determination of positivity which depends on endemicity of infection and application of vaccination.

Carrier State
• Exist. of S. typhi in feces or urine withoutclinical manifestation 1 year after recovery fromtyphoid fever
S. typhi still be found in feces of urine 2 or 3 months after recovery in 16% patients
• Impairment of host defence mechanism,gall and kidney stone, chronic gall andkidney infection contribute in pathogenesis of carrier state
Carrier State• Diagnosis of carrier state :Feces and urine culture
• Treatment : Without gall stone :
Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Cotrimoxazole
With gall stone :Cholecystectomi and treatment withCiprofloxacin or Norfloxacin
With Schistosomiasis :Eradication of schistosomiasis before treatment of carier state
Prevention
• Avoid risky food or drinks• Hand washing• Vaccination• Detection of carrier state in food handler

Fluoroquinolones for treating typhoid and paratyphoid fever (Cochrane Review)
Thaver D, Zaidi AK, Critchley J, Madni SA, Bhutta ZA
Main results:Compared with chloramphenicol, fluoroquinolones were not statistically
significantly different Compared with co-trimoxazole, we detected no statistically significant
difference Among adults, fluoroquinolones reduced clinical failure compared with
ceftriaxone but showed no difference for microbiological failure or relapse.
We detected no statistically significant difference between fluoroquinolones and cefixime orazithromycin
In trials of hospitalized children, fluoroquinolones were not statistically significantly different from ceftriaxone or cefixime
Authors' conclusions: Many trials were small, and methodological quality varied widely. Although enteric fever most commonly affects children, trials in this group were particularly sparse. Insufficient data in all comparisons preclude any firm conclusions to be made regarding superiority of fluoroquinolones over first-line antibiotics in children and adults.
