Typhoid Fever: Pathogenesis (vectors, bacteria), Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Vaccine

Lesson on Typhoid Fever: Pathogenesis, Signs and Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment and Other Important Considerations

Typhoid fever is caused by infectious bacteria of the genus Salmonella, specifically the species Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi. Typhoid fever is endemic in certain parts of the world, including South East Asia and parts of Africa. Risk factors of contracting Typhoid Fever include poor sanitation, overcrowding, and contaminated water sources. Individuals become infected by Salmonella bacteria typically through ingestion of contaminated water sources, whereby the bacteria survive gastric acids and penetrate into the epithelial wall of the small intestine. The bacteria then cause a fever and a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms due to penetration and proliferation within the bowel wall. Diagnosis of Typhoid Fever occurs through culturing the bacteria and treatment depends on the extent of antibiotic resistance in different geographic locations. We also discuss typhoid fever treatments (typhoid medications) and preventative measures including typhoid fever immunizations (typhoid fever vaccine).

I still come back to these videos whenever I have a quiz in infectious diseases, covers pretty much everything ❤️ thanks doc!!

[IsabelRodriguez-nvue]

Thank you so very much for this video. I love this video! It is very well presented and organized and covers all the necessary information in a brief and easy to follow format.

Thanks for this very educational video. It seems as if the Dr.’s here where I live in Texas are Not as educated on this topic. I’ve had Typhus, Typhoid Fever, Ricky Mountain Fever & been Sepsis for over 4 years now, and yet the Dr.’s are Not going to see me until the end of Jan. next year. They claimed, four years ago the testing was too expensive and hoped I would be fine after being hospitalized with these infectious diseases, but tested positive again 2 months later. I have been constantly nauseated and have been constipated but yet nothing has still been done other than a repeat of an oral antibiotic. I fear that I could be contagious to others so I’m trying to educate myself thanks again for sharing.

I experienced that pain, the child, I feel like you are writhing in pain Your head is so high that your fever seems to be locked in the oven. And my vision has almost become blurred so my ankle was very strong as a child I was lucky I survived

[godanaali]

I took coprofloxacin and it cleared but keeps on coming back after every 3 to 6 months

[DosBear]

I only looked this up because I was watching Wyatt Earp who lost his first wife to this particular fever. I guess back in those days they didn't have antibiotics to treat such an illness. Thanks for the information.

[posh_zee]

Thank you so much it was really helpful

[charliegutierrez]

What about long term side affects. I almost died of typhoid when I was 16 and now 21 years later I still have some joint paid and stiffness.

[nessesitoburrito]

Had this illness and almost died from it at one point so I know how to stay away from humans after that at home and abroad for personal safety.

[asgirali]

Please make proper video on typhoid fever
