Salmonella Typhi

Salmonella Typhi &#X7C Isolate

We present five cases of neonatal septicaemia due to S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A. The cases were presented because of their interesting clinical presentations and possible modes of transmission. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Wound Infection

    This case is an unusual presentation of post-operative Salmonella typhi wound infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Unconsciousness

    She was admitted to Tokyo Medical Dental University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, because of unconsciousness and was diagnosed with sepsis by retrograde pyelonephritis as a result of Salmonella typhi. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Respiratory Distress

    A 14-year-old immunocompetent girl was admitted with respiratory distress owing to S. Typhi pneumonia and pleural empyema. She was a native of Ivory Coast but had lived in France for 4 years and had not travelled abroad for several years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Fracture

    We report a case of Salmonella typhi osteomyelitis that presented as a pathologic fracture of the left femur and had additional silent manifestations in the right tibia and humerus in an otherwise healthy adult. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Periorbital Edema

    Bronchopneumonia, proptosis and periorbital edema resolved with systemic antibiotic therapy but the patient developed bilateral phthisis bulbi. This is the first case report of metastatic, bilateral panophthalmitis caused by Salmonella typhi. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Urticaria

    We report on three children with Salmonella typhi presenting with fever and urticaria, thrombocytopenic purpura and meningitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Purpura

    We report on three children with Salmonella typhi presenting with fever and urticaria, thrombocytopenic purpura and meningitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Polyneuropathy

    Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies revealed diffuse axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy that progressively improved over time. Common infective agents, including salmonella typhi, can present in unusual ways. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Positive Widal Test

    The aetiological diagnosis was confirmed by a positive Widal test as well as by isolation of Salmonella typhi from joint aspirate. Treatment with ceftriaxone along with surgical drainage was successful. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Typhi-H58 that is associated with fluoroquinolone treatment failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This leads to a mortality rate of less than 1% among treated individuals who have an antibiotic-susceptible strain of S. typhi, making the outcome and prognosis for patients a positive one. [web.uconn.edu]

Antibiotic therapy has radically changed the prognosis of typhoid, which, untreated, has a 10% death rate. Preventive measures include good personal and food hygiene. An effective vaccine is also available. [ecdc.europa.eu]

Salmonella etiology was not suspected in this case, and the diagnosis was made only after bacterial isolation. Arthrotomy was done as an initial mode of management, followed by intravenous ciprofloxacin therapy to which the child responded favorably. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Paratyphi A cases, and controls, calculating that a combination of six metabolites could accurately define the etiological agent. [elifesciences.org]

Typhi strain panel consisted of six outbreak related isolates and 44 epidemiologically unlinked isolates. Amongst these were nine S.Typhi haplotype H58 isolates. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, mortality rates have fallen to less than 1% with the introduction of antibiotics. [3] [9] Pathophysiology Salmonella enterica serotype typhi is usually contracted by ingestion of food or water that is contaminated with the excrements of those [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology All pathogenic Salmonella species, when present in the gut are engulfed by phagocytic cells, which then pass them through the mucosa and present them to the macrophages in the lamina propria. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Transmission persisted despite increased hygiene promotion activities and hand-washing facilities instituted to prevent and control the outbreak. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
