OBJECTIVE To provide information about the characteristics of diarrheal stool in multi-drug resistant typhoid fever and observe the clinical course after treatment with furazolidone or ciprofloxacin. METHODS Hospital based. METHODS Twenty one male children who were positive for multi-drug resistant

To study the pathogenesis of diarrhea occurring with typhoid fever, we selected 42 patients with diarrhea and blood cultures positive for Salmonella typhi or Salmonella paratyphi A, but without diarrheal copathogens, for measurement of stool output and examination of fecal composition. The mean

Purified Vi antigen, acetic anthydride-treated Salmonella typhosa endotoxin, and potassium methylate-treated S. typhosa endotoxin employed as vaccines in Swiss white mice failed to protect these animals against challenge with a virulent S. typhimurium hybrid expressing S. typhosa antigens.

Nontraumatic perforation of the small intestine is very rare in western countries, while typhoid fever is the most common cause of such perforation in other parts of the world. A series spanning 24 years is reviewed, comprising 112 adults with perforation of the small intestine resulting in

The aim of this study was to examine biochemical investigations not routinely performed prior to emergency laparotomy in patients at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, a low-resource public hospital in Blantyre, Malawi. A prospective cross-sectional study of adults (N = 15) needing emergency

The objective of this study was to develop an optimized assay for Salmonella Typhi biofilm that mimics the environment of the gallbladder as an experimental model for chronic typhoid fever. Multi-factorial assays are difficult to optimize using traditional one-factor-at-a-time optimization methods.
