Prognosis
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]
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]
The prognosis for patients with typhoid fever depends on how quickly the diagnosis is made and antibiotics are started. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
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]
Epidemiology
In all cases, the relevance of findings to the epidemiology of typhoid must be clear. Funding Information Awards of $100,000 USD are made in Phase I. [www2.fundsforngos.org]
The availability of genome sequences and its understanding have transformed the field of molecular microbiology, epidemiology, infection treatments and vaccine developments. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This activity presents the etiology, pathophysiology, presentation, and diagnosis of Salmonella typhi and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in its management. Objectives: Describe the epidemiology of Salmonella typhi. [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]
