Typhoid Fever*

Typhoid fever is a systemic infection caused by Salmonella typhi, which may be associated with extra-intestinal complications. Neurological manifestations, particularly Parkinsonism, are rarely reported. We report a 17-year-old patient with relapsed culture-proven Salmonella typhi infection who developed septic shock and subsequently Parkinsonism. Lumbar puncture revealed acellular cerebrospinal fluid with raised protein level. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed cerebral petechial haemorrhages resulted from small vessels vasculitis. His symptoms resolved spontaneously after 3 months.

A study aims to determine the etiological spectrum of the essential fever, the danger of typhoid in status of the long-lasting fever as well as the epidermiological and clinical features and tests which related with the experiences in diagnosis. The subjects included all adult patients admitted to the department of the essential fever in the Institute of the Clinical Medicine and Tropical disease in Ho Chi Minh city during 8/1995 12/1998. A retrospective and descriptive study has shown that there were 154 patients with ages of 36+/- 14; the average duration of fever before admitting to hospital was 48+/- 36 days; there were 92 patients were treated before admission.

A study on the clinical symptoms and blood culture in 81 patients with typhoid septicemia has shown that the most typical symptoms in the typhoid septicemia comprised continuous high fever, anorexia, bloating and headache. Other symptoms comprised erythematosus, nose bleeding, hepatomegaly, spleenmegaly and diarrhea. The blood culture aimed at identifying the causative bacterial had a high positive rate within 96 hours after fever. This rate was very low in cases of antibiotic administration at home

The immune status in 26 typhoid fever patients has been studied. They are 15 males, 112 females from 16 to 30 years old. This study reveals that: during the fever period of the disease, pronounced disturbances in immune, homeostasis are observed, which are manifested by lymphopenia, with a considerable rise of natural killer (NK) and active rosette forming cells (Ea). At the period of convalescence, the parameters decreased to normal value, except a mild increase of immunoglobulin (IgM, IgG)

Results after 2 years of studying on 403 patients showed that: CM(+) rate was 14,8%. The rate of temporary Salmonella carriers (who treated as antibiogram in the hospital after 3 months, CP(+): 10% in 1998 and 0% in 1999. The rate of Salmonella carriers contacted with patients, patients' relatives: 19,9% in 1998 and 0% in 1999. The rate of healthy Salmonella carriers: 1% in 1998 and 0% in 1999. The rate of chronic Salmonella carriers (people with disease free after 1 year CP(+): 8,3% in 1998 and 0% in 1999). After treatment by 1-2 courses of antibiotic as antibiogram, all Salmonella carriers were Salmonella free according to the results of culture
