Typhoid State
When typhoid fever continues untreated for more than two or three weeks, the effected
individual may be delirious or unable to stand and move, and the eyes may be partially
open during this time. At this point fatal complications may emerge.

Signs and Symptoms
• Symptoms
• Prolonged Fever (38.8°–40.5°C)
• Headache (80%)
• Chills (35–45%)
• Cough (30%)
• Sweating (20–25%)
• Myalgias (20%)
• Malaise (10%)
• Gastrointestinal symptoms
• Anorexia (55%)
• Abdominal pain (30–40%)
• Nausea (18–24%)
• Vomiting (18%)
• Diarrhea (22–28%)
• Physical findings
• Coated tongue (51–56%)
• Splenomegaly (5–6%)
• Abdominal tenderness (4–5%)
• Early physical findings : rash ("rose spots"; 30%),
hepatosplenomegaly (3–6%), epistaxis, and relative
bradycardia
Clinical Assesment
• Microbiological procedures
• Blood culture
• Gold standard
• A typical blood culture bottle contains 45 ml of tryptic soy broth or brain heart infusion
broth.
• The best agar is blood agar (horse or sheep blood) as this allows the growth of most
bacterial pathogen
• For suspected tyhoid fever, subculture plates should be incubated at 37°C for 18-24
hours in an aerobic incubator
• Stool or rectal swab culture
• This involves inoculating 1 g of stool into 10 ml of selenite F broth and incubating at 37°C
for 18-48 hours
Clinical Assesment
• Microbiological procedures
• Bone marrow culture
• Gold standard
• Colony characteristic
• Blood agar
• On blood agar, S. typhii and S. paratyphii usually produce non-
haemolytic smooth white colonies
• MacConkey agar
• On MacConkey agar, salmonellae produce lactose non-fermenting
smooth colonies
• SS agar
• On SS agar, salmonellae usually produce lactose non-fermenting
colonies with black centres (except S. paratyphi A, whose colonies do
not have black centres)
• Desoxycholate agar
• On desoxycholate agar, salmonellae produce lactose non-fermenting
colonies with black centres (except S. paratyphi A, whose colonies do
not have black centres)
• Widal Test
• This test measures agglutinating antibody levels against O
and H antigens
• The levels are measured by using doubling dilutions of sera
in large test tubes
• Usually, O antibodies appear on days 6-8 and H antibodies
on days 10-12 after the onset of the disease
• The test has only moderate sensitivity and specificity
TUBEX TEST
• Fast semi-quantitative colorimetric test for typhoid fever
• Detect anti-S. typhi O9 (IgM) antibody on patient’s serum → these
antibodies can inhibit the binding between an indicator-binding
bound particle + magnetic-antigen bound particle
• High sensitivity and specificity (75 – 90%)
• Simple, easy to use
• Has already done in Indonesia

TUBEX TEST
• Antigen O9 → immunodominant
→ initiate immune response quickly → earlier detection (day 4 - 5 for primary
infection; day 2 – 3 for secondary infection)

TUBEX TEST WEAKNESSES
• Sometimes hard to interpret
• False positive result in :
• Non-typhoid Salmonella infection, e.g. Salmonella enterica serotype enteridis
• Other bacteria species
• Malaria
• Immunology disturbance
• Chronic liver disease
• Incorrect antibiotic regiment

TYPHIDOT TEST
• Reinfection case → IgG is over activated → hard to detect IgM
• IgG can exists until 2 years → hard to differentiate between
reinfection case or convalescent stage in primary infection

Treatment
• General management
• Oral or intravenous hydration
• The use of antipyretics
• Appropriate nutrition
• Blood transfusions if indicated
Complication
• Gastrointestinal bleeding (10–20%) and intestinal perforation (1–3%)
• Most commonly occur in the third and fourth weeks of illness
• Result from hyperplasia, ulceration, and necrosis of the ileocecal Peyer's
patches at the initial site of Salmonella infiltration
• Neurologic manifestations (2–40%)
• Meningitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, neuritis, and neuropsychiatric symptoms
Learning Objective 3
Describes about diarrhea classification
• Based on the onset : acute, persistent or chronic
• Based on the volume : small volume (typical of colonic disease) or
large volume (typical of small bowel disease)
• Based on the type of the secretions : watery or steatorrhea
• Based on the mechanisms : secretory (persists with fasting), osmotic
(stops with fasting), inflammatory or exudative
BASED ON THE ONSET
• Acute diarrhea greater number of stools of decreased form from
the normal lasting for less than 14 days
• Persistent diarrhea if the illness persists for more than 14 days
• Chronic diarrhea if the duration of symptoms is longer than 1
month
BASED ON THE MECHANISM
• Secretory Diarrhea
• Due to derangements in fluid and electrolyte transport across the
enterocolonic mucosa
• Characterized clinically by
• Watery, large-volume fecal outputs that are typically painless and persist with fasting
• Because there is no malabsorbed solute, stool osmolality is accounted for by normal
endogenous electrolytes with no fecal osmotic gap
• Osmotic Diarrhea
• Occurs when ingested, poorly absorbable, osmotically
active solutes draw enough fluid into the lumen to exceed
the reabsorptive capacity of the colon
• Fecal water output increases in proportion to such a solute
load
• Characteristically ceases with fasting or with
discontinuation of the causative agent
• Inflammatory Diarrhea
• Damage to the mucosal lining or brush border passive
loss of protein-rich fluids, and a decreased ability to absorb
these lost fluids
• Features of all three of the other types of diarrhea can be
found in this type of diarrhea
• Exudative Diarrhea
• Occurs with the presence of blood and pus in the stool
• Occurs with inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn‘s
disease or ulcerative colitis, and other severe infections
BASED ON THE ETIOLOGY
• Infectious agents
• Most infectious diarrheas are acquired by:
• fecal-oral transmission
• ingestion of food or water contaminated with pathogens from human or animal feces
• Disturbances of flora by antibiotics can lead to diarrhea by reducing the
digestive function or by allowing the overgrowth of pathogens
• Non-infectious agents
Learning Objective 4
Describes about alarm symptoms of gastroenteritis
Learning Objective 5
Describes about stage of dehydration
DEHYDRATION
DEFINITION
• Lack of water content in the body
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF DEHYDRATION
BECAUSE OF DIARRHEA
• Diarrhea excess loss of fluids and essential electrolytes from the
body fluid lost in the stools is not replaced dehydration
TREATMENT OF DEHYDRATION
• Minimal or no dehydration
• Rehydration therapy - Not applicable
• Replacement of losses
• Less than 10 kg body weight - 60-120 mL oral rehydration solution for each diarrhea stool
or vomiting episode
• More than 10 kg body weight - 120-140 mL oral rehydration solution for each diarrhea
stool or vomiting episode
• Mild-to-moderate dehydration
• Rehydration therapy - Oral rehydration solution (50-100 mL/kg
over 3-4 h)
• Replacement of losses
• Less than 10 kg body weight - 60-120 mL oral rehydration solution
for each diarrhea stool or vomiting episode
• More than 10 kg body weight - 120-140 mL oral rehydration
solution for each diarrhea stool or vomiting episode
• Severe dehydration
• Rehydration therapy - Intravenous lactated Ringer solution or
normal saline (20 mL/kg until perfusion and mental status
improve), followed by 100 mL/kg oral rehydration solution over
4 hours or 5% dextrose (half normal saline) intravenously at
twice maintenance fluid rates
• Replacement of losses
• Less than 10 kg body weight - 60-120 mL oral rehydration solution
for each diarrhea stool or vomiting episode
• More than 10 kg body weight - 120-140 mL oral rehydration
solution for each diarrhea stool or vomiting episode
• If unable to drink, administer through nasogastric tube or
intravenously administer 5% dextrose (one fourth normal saline)
with 20 mEq/L potassium chloride
REHYDRATION
• Oral rehydration with fluids containing glucose, Na+, K+, Cl–, and
bicarbonate or citrate is preferred when feasible
• Fluids should be given at rates of 50–200 mL/kg/24 h depending on the
hydration status
• Intravenous fluids are preferred in patients with severe dehydration
