OBJECTIVE
to evaluate the diagnostic value of clinical symptoms and signs in enteric fever and to propose a clinical diagnostic criterion.
METHODS
Prospective observational study.
METHODS
Kathmandu Medical College, Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.
METHODS
febrile patients with clinical diagnosis
The results of a study based on 68 cases of blood culture proven enteric fever are presented. Sensitivity to chloramphenicol, ampicillin and cotrimoxazole was found to be 55.88, 54.41, 38.23% respectively. Common clinical features were fever, vomiting, pain abdomen and cough in both the groups.
A detailed analysis of 117 cases of enteric fever in Nigerian children shows that fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea were the main presenting features. Disorders of sensorium occurred in 50%. Associated conditions and bizarre manifestations often delayed the diagnosis and this, coupled
