In 1906, Irish immigrant Mary Mallon worked as a
cook in the Oyster Bay summer home of New York
banker Charles Henry Warren and his family. By
the end of the summer, six members of the
household had contracted typhoid fever. The
Warrens hired sanitary engineer, George Soper, to
determine the source of the disease. Soper
concluded that Mallon, while immune herself to
the disease, was its carrier.
5
  • For three years, she was isolated on North
    Brother Island, near Rikers Island, earning the
    nickname "Typhoid Mary." Instructed not to cook
    for others upon her release, she nevertheless
    changed her name and became a cook at a maternity
    hospital in Manhattan. At least 25 staff members
    contracted typhoid. "Typhoid Mary" returned to
    North Brother Island, where she lived alone for
    23 years, until her death in 1938. She is shown
    here on the island in an undated photo. She died
    of a stroke after 23 years in quarantine.

6
  • Typhos in Greek means ,smoke and typhus fever got
    its name from smoke that was believed to cause
    it. Typhoid means typhus-like and thus the name
    given to this disease.
  • The term Typhoid was given by Louis 1829 to
    distinguish it from typhus fever.
  • It is a disease of poor environmental sanitation
    and hence occurs in parts of the world where
    water supply is unsafe and sanitation is
    substandard.

7
  • The term enteric fever or typhoid fever is a
    communicable disease, found only in man and
    includes both typhoid fever caused by S.Typhi and
    paratyphoid fever caused by S.Paratyphi A, B and
    C . It is an acute generalized infection of the
    reticulo endothelial system, intestinal lymphoid
    tissue, and the gall bladder.

EPIDEMIOLOGY
11
  • According to the World Health Organization,
    globally some 16 million cases occur annually
    resulting in more than 600,000 deaths. More than
    62 of the global cases occur in Asia, of which,
    7 million occur annually in South East Asia.
    Other countries with a high incidence include
    Central and South America, Africa and Papua New
    Guinea.

12
  • The incidence of this disease in UK is reported
    to be just one case per 1,00,000 population.
  • In 1994, for example, 26,55,000 cases (incidence
    500 cases/ million) were reported from Africa
    with 1,30,000 deaths
  • The mean incidence of typhoid fever in developing
    countries is estimated between 150 cases/million
    population/year in Latin America to
    1000cases/million population/year in some Asian
    countries.

13
  • In 1885, pioneering American veterinary
    scientist, Daniel E. Salmon, discovered the first
    strain of salmonella from the intestine of a pig.
    This strain was called salmonella choleraesuis,
    It is still used to describe the genus and
    species of this common human pathogen.

14
  • In 1880s, the typhoid bacillus was first
    discovered by Eberth in spleen sections and
    mesenteric lymph nodes from a patient who died
    from typhoid.
  • Robert Koch confirmed a related finding and
    succeeded in cultivating the bacterium in 1881.
  • Serodiagnosis of typhoid was thus made possible
    by 1896.
  • Wright and his team prepared heat killed vaccine
    from S.Typhi in 1896.

15
  • Salmonellae are gram ve rods, facultatively
    aerobic, Motile with peritrichate flagella,
    non-spore-forming
  • 1-3µm 0.5µm in size
  • Salmonella currently comprise 2000 serotypes
  • Two groups a) Enteric fever group
  • b) Food poisoning group

16
  • The bacilli are killed at 55ºc in one
  • hour or at 60ºc in 15 minutes. They are
  • Killed within 5 minutes by mercuric
  • chloride or 5 phenol. Boiling or
  • chlorination of water and pasteurization of
  • milk destroy the bacilli.
  • The proportion of typhoid to
  • paratyphoid A is 101, Paratyphoid B is
  • rare and paratyphoid C is very rare.

  • Age group Typhoid fever may occur at any age
    but it is considered to be a disease mainly of
    children and young adults. In endemic areas, the
    highest attack rate occurs in children aged 8-13
    years. In a recent study from slums of Delhi, it
    was found that contrary to popular belief, the
    disease affects even children aged 1-5 years

20
  • Gender and race Typhoid fever cases are
    more commonly seen in males than in females. On
    the contrary, females have a special predilection
    to become chronic carriers.
  • Occupation Certain categories of persons
    handling the infective material and live cultures
    of S. typhi are at increased risk of acquiring
    infection.
  • Socio-economic factors It is a disease of
    poverty as it is often associated with inadequate
    sanitation facilities and unsafe water supplies.

21
  • Environmental factors Though the cases are
    observed through out the year, the peak
    incidence of typhoid fever is reported during
    July - September.
  • Social factors pollution of drinking water
    supplies, open air defecation, and urination, low
    standards of food and personal hygiene, and
    health ignorance.

22
  • Nutritional status Malnutrition may enhance the
    susceptibility to typhoid fever by altering the
    intestinal flora or other host defences.
  • Incubation period Usually 10-14 days but it may
    be as short as 3 days or as long as 21 days
    depending upon the dose of the inoculums.

23
  • Reservoir of infection Man is the only known
    reservoir of infection - cases or carriers.
  • Period of communicability A case is infectious
    as long as the bacilli appear in stool or urine.

24
  • Mode of transmission The disease is transmitted
    by faeco - oral route or urine oral routes
    either directly through hands soiled with faeces
    or urine of cases or carriers or indirectly by
    ingestion of contaminated water, milk, food, or
    through flies. Contaminated ice, ice-creams, and
    milk products are a rich source of infection.

26
  • Carriers may be temporary or chronic.
  • Temporary (convalescent or incubatory) carriers
    usually excrete bacilli up to 6-8 weeks. By the
    end of one year, 3-4 per cent of cases continue
    to excrete typhoid bacilli.
  • Persons who excrete the bacilli for more than a
    year after a clinical attack are called chronic
    carriers.

Salmonella typhi infect the body via the Peyer's
patches of the small intestine. The bacteria
migrates to mesenteric lymph nodes and arrive via
the blood in the liver and spleen during the
first exposure. After multiple replication in the
above locations, the bacteria Migrates back into
the Peyer's patches of the small intestine for
the secondary exposure and consequently the
clinical symptoms are seen. Inflammation in the
small intestine leads to ulcers and necrosis.
31
  • First week The disease classically presents
    with step-ladder fashion rise in temperature (40
    - 41C) over 4 to 5 days, accompanied by
    headache, vague abdominal pain, and constipation.
  • Second week Between the 7 th -10 th day of
    illness, mild hepato-splenomegally occurs in
    majority of patients. Relative bradycardia may
    occur and rose-spots may be seen.

32
  • Third week The patient will appear in the
    "typhoid state" which is a state of prolonged
    apathy, toxaemia, delirium, disorientation and/or
    coma. Diarrhea will then become apparent. If left
    untreated by this time, there is a high risk
    (5-10) of intestinal hemorrhage and perforation.
  • Rare complications Typhoid hepatitis, Emphyema,
    Osteomyelitis, and Psychosis.
  • 2-5 patients may become Gall-bladder
    carriers.

DIAGNOSIS
36
  • Typhoid should be considered in any patient with
    prolonged unexplained fever in endemic areas and
    in those with a history of recent travel to
    endemic area.
  • Prolonged fever, rose spots, relative bradycardia
    and leucopenia make typhoid strongly suggestive.

37
  • Widal test measures titres of serum agglutinins
    against somatic (O) and flagellar (H) antigens
    which usually begin to appear during the 2nd
    week. In the absence of recent immunization, a
    high titre of antibody to O antigen gt 1640 is
    suggestive but not specific.

38
  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be performed
    on peripheral mononuclear cells. The test is more
    sensitive than blood culture alone (92 compared
    with 50-70) but requires significant technical
    expertise
  • Blood cultures are positive in 70-80 of cases
    during the 1st week.
  • Stool and urine cultures are usually positive
    (45-75) during the 2nd-3rd week.
  • Bone marrow aspirate cultures give the best
    confirmation (85-95)
  • The tracing of carriers in cities by sewer swab
    technique

39
Rapid Tests for Diagnosing Typhoid
  • Typhidot test that detects presence of IgM and
    IgG in one hour (sensitivitygt95, Specificity
    75)
  • Typhidot-M, that detects IgM only (sensitivity
    90 and specificity 93)
  • Typhidot rapid (sensitivity 85 and Specificity
    99) is a rapid 15 minute immunochromatographic
    test to detect IgM.
  • IgM dipstick test

Management of typhoid fever
  • General Supportive care includes
  • Maintenance of adequate hydration.
  • Antipyretics.
  • Appropriate nutrition.
  • Specific Antimicrobial therapy is the mainstay
    treatment. Selection of antibiotic should be
    based on its efficacy, availability and cost.
  • Chloramphenicol , Ampicillin ,Amoxicillin ,
    Trimethoprim Sulphamethoxazole ,Fluroquinolones
  • In case of quinolone resistance Azithromycin,
    3rd generation cephalosporins (ceftriaxone)

43

45
Health Promotion
  • Keep the premises and kitchen utensils clean.
  • Dispose rubbish properly.
  • Keep hands clean and fingernails trimmed.
  • Wash hands properly with soap and water before
    eating or handling food, and after toilet or
    changing diapers.
  • Drinking water should be from the mains and
    preferably boiled.
  • Purchase fresh food from reliable sources. Do not
    patronize illegal hawkers.

46
  • Avoid high-risk food like shellfish, raw food or
    semi-cooked food.
  • Wear clean washable aprons and caps during food
    preparation.
  • Clean and wash food thoroughly.
  • Scrub and rinse shellfish in clean water. Immerse
    them in clean water for sometime to allow
    self-purification.
  • Remove the viscera if appropriate


47
  • Store perishable food in refrigerator, well
    covered.
  • Handle and store raw and cooked food especially
    seafood separately (upper compartment of the
    refrigerator for cooked food and lower
    compartment for raw food) to avoid cross
    contamination.
  • Clean and defrost refrigerator regularly and keep
    the temperature at or below 4ºc

48
  • Cook food thoroughly.
  • Do not handle cooked food with bare hands wear
    gloves if necessary.
  • Consume food as soon as it is done.
  • If necessary, refrigerate cooked leftover food
    and consume as soon as possible. Reheat
    thoroughly before consumption. Discard any addled
    food items.
  • Exclude typhoid carrier from handling food and
    from providing care to children.

49
