Diarrhea
An increase in the frequency of bowel movements / a
decrease in the form of stool (greater looseness of
stool)
Mechanisms
Osmotic diarrhea: nonabsorbed solutes increase
intraluminal oncotic pressure, causing outpouring of water.
Secretory diarrhea: active ion secretion cause obligatory
water loss.
Diarrhea Exudative: inflammation, necrosis, and sloughing of
colonic mucosa.
Altered intestinal motility: alteration of coordinated
control of intestinal propulsion.
Decreased absorptive surface: arise from surgical
manipulation.

Typhoid fever
Defenition
Typhoid fever, also known as enteric fever, is a systemic bacterial
disease contracted by consuming food or water that has been
contaminated with the bacterium Salmonella typhi.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Typhoid fever occurs worldwide, primarily in developing nations
whose sanitary conditions are poor
Typhoid fever is endemic in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean,
and Oceania, but 80% of cases come from Bangladesh, China, India,
Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, Pakistan, or Vietnam
Within those countries, typhoid fever is most common in
underdeveloped areas
Typhoid fever infects roughly 21.6 million people (incidence of 3.6 per
1,000 population) and kills an estimated 200,000 people every year
Etiology of Typhoid fever
Sources of Infection
Water
Contamination with feces often results in explosive epidemics.
Shellfish
From contaminated water.
"Recreational" Drugs
Marijuana and other drugs.
Animal Dyes
Dyes (e.g, carmine) used in drugs, foods, and cosmetics.
Household Pets
Turtles, dogs, cats, etc.
Salmonellosis
Salmonella infection in man is caused by the enteric fever group
which includes:
- Salmonella typhi Typhoid fever
- Salmonella paratyphi A paratyphoid fever
- Salmonella paratyphi B paratyphoid fever
- Salmonella paratyphi C has different symptomatology.
Bacteriology
The enteric bacili have 3 common
antigens:
- H antigen on the flagellae
different bacteriophages.
Bacteriology
The H antigens differ from one another.
The O antigens are group specific.
The Vi antigen is used in detection of carriers.

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Paratyphoids A, B & C The laboratory is usually required as the
final authority. The paratyphoids tend to run a milder course with
profuse rose spots.
Salmonella infection and gastroenteritis Salmonellae, the
dysentery group, and staphylococci may occasionally cause an
invasive illness resembling typhoid fever with bacteremia. Usually,
however, the gastrointestinal symptoms are more acute than the
general manifestations, and the pyrexia much lower and of shorter
duration.
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Other diseases in differential diagnosis
a. Malaria This may be mistaken for typhoid in countries where
both are endemic. A history of previous attacks, the more rapid
onset in malaria, the shivering and sweating, the high early pyrexia,
the relative infrequency of abdominal symptoms and signs, and a
positive blood slide all point to a diagnosis of malaria.
