1. Seroprevalence of chikungunya virus infection in five hospitals within Anyigba, Kogi State of Nigeria
ABSTRACT Febrile illnesses in developing countries are often misdiagnosed as malaria or typhoid fever. Although arboviral infections have similar clinical symptoms, they are usually not screened because of limited resources and the fact that there are several viruses in this group. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) has been isolated in parts of Nigeria, but there is

2. β-Glucan of Candida albicans Cell Wall Extract Inhibits Salmonella Typhimurium Colonization by Potentiating Cellular Immunity (CD8 + and CD4 + T Cells)
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Antimicrobial resistance has been reported in the drugs used for the treatment of typhoid fever. The immunomodulatory substance β-glucan can be used as an alternative therapy as it potentiates host immunity. The aims of this study are to observe the effect of Candida albicans cell wall (CCW) extract towards host immunity (TCD8+ and T

3. Progression of the load of waterborne and intestinal parasitic diseases in the State of Amazonas
In the State of Amazonas, Brazil, urban expansion together with precarious basic sanitation conditions and human settlement on river banks has contributed to the persistence of waterborne and intestinal parasitic diseases. Time series of the recorded cases of cholera, typhoid fever, hepatitis A and leptospirosis are described, using data from different level

4. Typhidot M and Diazo test vis-à-vis blood culture and Widal test in the early diagnosis of typhoid fever in children in a resource poor setting
OBJECTIVE: Typhoid fever is a major public health problem. A test which is simple, reliable and can be carried out in small laboratories is the need of the hour. We prospectively evaluated typhidot M and Diazo tests vis-à-vis blood culture and Widal test in children. METHODS: Patients aged 6 months to 12 years, having fever of more than four days duration w

5. Acute schistosomiasis mansoni: revisited and reconsidered
Acute schistosomiasis is a systemic hypersensitivity reaction against the migrating schistosomula and eggs. A variety of clinical manifestations appear during the migration of schistosomes in humans: cercarial dermatitis, fever, pneumonia, diarrhoea, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, skin lesions, liver abscesses, brain tumours and myeloradiculopathy. Hypereosinop

6. Procedimentos para apropriação de tecnologias para implantação de sistema de saneamento ambiental em comunidades isoladas e com poucos recursos financeiros e humanos. / Procedures for ownership of technologies for deployment of system on environmental sanitation in isolated communities with limited financial and human resources.
The environmental sanitation systems absence causes many problems of health, elevating significantly private and public expenses in the sector, mainly in the latter, concerning the handling of illnesses, as malaria, dengue, illnesses of Chagas, diarrheas, typhoid fever, among many others. Many studies have shown the intrinsic relation of the investments in i

7. Avaliação do sistema de vigilância epidemiológica da Febre Tifóide no Brasil. / Evaluation of Typhoid Fever surveillance epidemiological system in the Brazil.
A febre tifóide (FT) é uma doença de distribuição universal, associada às precárias condições higiênico-sanitárias. Nas regiões Norte e Nordeste do Brasil a doença é endêmica, com ocorrência freqüente de surtos. A vigilância epidemiológica (VE) da FT representa importante ferramenta para detecção oportuna de surtos visando impedir ou dif

8. Evaluation of passive bacterial agglutination for the diagnosis of typhoid fever.
We evaluated the reliability of a passive bacterial agglutination test to detect Salmonella typhi somatic antigen(s) in the sera of patients with typhoid fever. It was positive in 32 of 33 bacteriologically proven typhoid fever cases. Among 13 patients with a presumptive diagnosis of typhoid fever, 11 were positive by passive bacterial agglutination. The ser

9. Typhus Fever: An Overlooked Diagnosis
A case of typhus fever is presented. On admission, the clinical diagnosis was typhoid fever. Forty-eight hours after admission, the presence of subconjunctival haemorrhage, malena, and jaundice raised the possibility of a different aetiology, the two most likely differentials being dengue and typhus. Finally, a co-infection of typhoid and typhus was discover

10. Detection of urinary Vi antigen as a diagnostic test for typhoid fever.
Since Vi antigen is limited primarily to Salmonella typhi, it has been thought that detection of the antigen may be a useful method for diagnosing acute typhoid fever. The slide coagglutination method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay have recently been suggested as ways to detect small quantities of Vi antigen in urine. In Santiago, Chile, we compared t

11. Value of a Single-Tube Widal Test in Diagnosis of Typhoid Fever in Vietnam
The diagnostic value of an acute-phase single-tube Widal test for suspected typhoid fever was evaluated with 2,000 Vietnamese patients admitted to an infectious disease referral hospital between 1993 and 1998. Test patients had suspected typhoid fever and a blood culture positive for Salmonella typhi (n= 1,400) or Salmonella paratyphi A (n = 45). Control pat

12. Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi-Specific Immunoglobulin A Antibody Responses in Plasma and Antibody in Lymphocyte Supernatant Specimens in Bangladeshi Patients with Suspected Typhoid Fever▿
Many currently available diagnostic tests for typhoid fever lack sensitivity and/or specificity, especially in areas of the world where the disease is endemic. In order to identify a diagnostic test that better correlates with typhoid fever, we evaluated immune responses to Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (serovar Typhi) in individuals with suspected typho
