TYPHOID


Typhoid fever is an acute illness associated with fever that is most
often caused by the Salmonella typhi bacteria. It can also be caused
by Salmonella paratyphi, a related bacterium that usually leads to a
less severe illness. The bacteria are deposited in water or food by a
human carrier and are then spread to other people in the area.

Symptoms

Early symptoms include fever, general ill-feeling and abdominal
pain. A high (over 103 degrees) fever and severe diarrhea occur as
the disease gets worse.

Some people with typhoid fever develop a rash called "rose spots,"
which are small red spots on the belly and chest.

Other symptoms that occur include:

  •   Abdominal tenderness
  •   Agitation
  •   Bloody stools
  •   Chills
  •   Confusion
  •   Difficulty paying attention
  •   Delirium
  •   Fluctuating mood
  •   Hallucinations
  •   Nosebleeds
  •   Severe fatigue
  •   Slow, sluggish, lethargic feeling
  •   Weakness



Exams and Tests
A complete blood count (CBC) will show a high number of white
blood cells.

A blood culture during first week of the fever can show S. typhi
bacteria

Other tests that can help diagnose this condition include:

  •   Stool culture
  •   ELISA urine test to look for the bacteria that causes Typhoid
      fever
  •   Platelet count (platelet count will be low)
  •   Fluorescent antibody study to look for substances specific to
      Typhoid bacteria



TREATMENT

Typhoid fever can be treated with antibiotics. However, resistance
to common antimicrobials is widespread. Healthy carriers should
be excluded from handling food.
