Epidemiology of Multidrug-Resistant Typhi and Paratyphi Isolated From Stool Culture.

Enteric fever is a significant health problem in developing countries caused by serovars Typhi and Paratyphi. Unfortunately, the burden of the disease remains high not only because of the complications related to the disease but also, especially, because of the spread of the strains of resistant to antibiotics. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibiotic resistance patterns of Typhi and Paratyphi clinical isolates as well as the risk factors associated with infection.

Association of Biochemical and Hematological Parameters With Enteric Fever Infection at the Dschang Regional Annex Hospital, Cameroon: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Enteric fever is a systemic infection in humans caused by the Gram-negative bacilli serovars Typhi and Paratyphi Although the diagnosis typically involves the isolation of serovars, it is often determined based on laboratory findings and clinical observations. However, due to the wide variety and the non-specific character of clinical features, making a definitive diagnosis presents numerous challenges. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find the predictive hematological and biochemical parameters which would serve in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of typhoid fever cases.
