Children bear a substantial proportion of the enteric fever disease burden in endemic areas. Controversy persists regarding which age groups are most affected, leading to uncertainty about optimal intervention strategies. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies in Asia and
Prospective time-trend analyses on shifting etiology and trends of drug resistance in enteric fever are scarce. Using published and unpublished datasets from Nepal, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to understand the trends in etiology and resistance to antimicrobials that have
In this study, we constructed an flhD (the master flagellar regulator gene) mutant of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and compared the virulence of the strain to that of the wild-type strain in a series of assays that included the mouse model of typhoid fever, the mouse macrophage survival
Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), is a diminishing public health problem in Vietnam, and this process may represent a prototype for typhoid elimination in Asia. Here, we review typhoid epidemiology in Vietnam over 20 years and assess the potential drivers
The number of reported outbreaks of typhoid fever in the United States has recently increased. Only six were reported from 1980-1989, but seven outbreaks were reported in 1990. In August 1990, health officials in Montgomery County, Maryland, were notified of two cases of typhoid fever among persons
In May 1981 an outbreak of typhoid fever occurred in a small village on a southwestern United States Indian reservation. Five of the six culture-proven cases, but only 2 of 15 community, age-matched controls, had eaten food prepared for a party held in the village on 20 April (chi-square = 4.3; P
Ceftriaxone in short courses has emerged as an effective alternative to chloramphenicol for the treatment of typhoid fever. To study the pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone in acute typhoid fever, 10 febrile Nepalese adolescents and young adults with blood culture-positive illness were treated with 3 g
OBJECTIVE
Determine the treatment of the acalculous acute cholecystitis during the course of typhoid fever in children.
METHODS
It was carried out a retrospective study in 10 patients with acalculous cholecystitis in the course of typhoid fever, from June 1992 to May 1997, in the Children's
BACKGROUND
Although typhoid fever incidence decreased in the 1960s and 1970s in New York City and elsewhere, it did not disappear. In this article, trends associated with various modes of transmission of Salmonella typhi in New York City patients are described.
METHODS
Typhoid fever surveillance
Typhoid fever is an infectious disease that is usually treated medically and rarely needs surgical intervention. In this paper, we report three cases of severe colonic involvement in salmonella infection in patients traveling in or coming from endemic areas, resulting in ulceration and massive
A 17-year-old young woman presented to Patan Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal, with high-grade fever and headache for 4 days and non-projectile vomiting for 1 day. She also had blurred vision with dizziness on and off. There was no abnormal physical finding. Enteric fever was suspected, and she was
The immune status in 48 typhoid fever (TF) patients has been studied. As revealed in this study, during the fever period of the disease pronounced disturbances in immune homeostasis are observed, which are manifested by T lymphopenia, the prevalence of suppressor subpopulations of T lymphocytes with
Re-emerging multidrug-resistant typhoid fever is becoming a worldwide threat, especially in East Africa. At the beginning of 2015, an outbreak of typhoid fever started in the capital city of Uganda, and 1940 suspected cases were reported by 5 March 2015. In this report, we describe a case of typhoid
BACKGROUND
Enteric fever remains a major cause of fever in travelers. We evaluated new trends in enteric fever.
METHODS
We reviewed the epidemiological, clinical, biological, bacteriological data, and outcome of all cases of typhoid and paratyphoid fever seen in our department over the last decade.
The modified SIS epidemiological model considers the usual direct transmission (short cycle) and indirect transmission (long cycle) of typhoid fever. Thresholds are determined, and the equilibrium points are shown to be globally stable. Local stability of the equilibrium points is shown in the
