Definition
• An infectious feverish disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi and less commonly by Salmonella paratyphi.
• The infection always comes from another human, either an ill person or a healthy carrier of the bacterium.
• Persons with typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract
• Transmitted through the ingestion of food or drink contaminated by the feces or urine of infected people
• The bacterium can withstand both drying and refrigeration.
![Page 7: Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Clinical Immunology & Serology Practice (MLIS 201)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145bd550346895db2c7b6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Causes
1. Caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi .
2. Ingestion of contaminated food or water.
3. Contact with an acute case of typhoid fever.
4. Contact with a chronic asymptomatic carrier.
![Page 8: Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Clinical Immunology & Serology Practice (MLIS 201)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145bd550346895db2c7b6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Salmonella typhi
• Rod shaped, flagellated, aerobic, Gram -ve bacilli.• Refrigeration and freezing could slow their growth.• Pasteurizing and food irradiation kill Salmonella for
commercially-produced foodstuffs• Foods prepared in the home from raw eggs can spread
salmonella if not properly cooked before consumption.
![Page 9: Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Clinical Immunology & Serology Practice (MLIS 201)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145bd550346895db2c7b6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ingestion of contaminated food or water
Salmonella typhi
Carried by white blood cells into the liver, spleen, and bone marrow
Multiply and reenter the bloodstream (Clinical illness)
Bacteria invade the gallbladder, biliary system, and the lymphatic tissue of the bowel and multiply in high numbers
Then pass into the intestinal tract (can be identified for diagnosis in cultures
from the stool)
Typhoid ulcers can cause perforation and hemorrhage
How does the bacteria cause disease ?

Symptoms
• No symptoms - if only a mild exposure; some people
become "carriers" of typhoid.
• Poor appetite, Headaches and generalized pains,
• Fever, Lethargy
• Rose spots on chest wall
• Diarrhea / constipation and abdominal pain
• Chest congestion develops in many patients,
• slow heartbeat.
• Enlarged spleen and liver

Diagnosis
Diagnosis of typhoid fever is made by
• Clinical examination• Blood, bone marrow, or stool cultures for S. typhi• Serological Tests
![Page 14: Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Clinical Immunology & Serology Practice (MLIS 201)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145bd550346895db2c7b6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1.Detection of Antibodies in serum: 1.Widal test (Tube or Slide), 2.Typhidot assay
3.Tubex system, 4. Dipstick assay.
2. Detection of Antigens in serum: 1. Tubex system 2. Countercurrent Immunoelectrophoresis (CIE).
3. Co-agglutination test. 4. ELISA

O (somatic) antigens H (flagella) antigens
• LPS in the cell wall;• Heat stable• Less immunogenic
• Agglutination with antisera:

Agglutination with antisera:
Large, loose, cotton wool clumps

Vi (virulence) antigen
• Capsular polysaccharide expressed on certain serotypes• Heat labile;• Poorly immunogenic, BUT antibodies are protective:
1. Detection of Vi antibody not helpful in diagnosis2. Absence in a case of typhoid poor prognosis; 3. Persistence of Vi antibody : carrier state
![Page 19: Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Clinical Immunology & Serology Practice (MLIS 201)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145bd550346895db2c7b6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Tube agglutination test.
• Detects anti O and H antibodies in serum
• Diagnosis of Typhoid and Paratyphoid cases
• Carriers of typhoid bacilli possess antibody against the Vi antigen of S. typhi. (Vi tires seem to correlate better with the carrier state than do O or H titres).
• For this reason, the use of Vi agglutination for detection of carriers was suggested .

How do you read Widal test results for typhoid fever?
• The highest dilution of the patients serum in
which agglutinations occurs is noted, ex. if the
dilution is 1 in 160 then the titer is 160.
• Agglutination in dilution up to <1:60 is seen
in normal individuals . Agglutination in dilution
1:160 is suggestive of Salmonella infection.
• Agglutination in dilution of >1:320 is
confirmatory of Enteric fever .

Prozone phenomenon in Agglutination tests
Prozone effect - Occasionally, it is observed that when the concentration of antibody is high (i.e. lower dilutions), there is no agglutination and then, as the sample is diluted, agglutination occurs.
Lack of agglutination in the prozone is due to antibody excess resulting in very small complexes that do not clump to form visible agglutination

Limitation of Widal Test
• The Widal test is time consuming and often times when diagnosis is reached it is too late to start an antibiotic regimen.
• In spite of several limitation many Physicians depend on Widal Test
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 31
![Page 32: Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Clinical Immunology & Serology Practice (MLIS 201)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145bd550346895db2c7b6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Interpretation of Widal test
• Test results need to be interpreted carefully in the light of :
1. Past history of enteric fever,
2. Typhoid vaccination,
3. general level of antibodies in the healthy populations in endemic areas of the world.
![Page 33: Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Clinical Immunology & Serology Practice (MLIS 201)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145bd550346895db2c7b6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
False Positive Reactions with WIDAL Test
1. patients who have had previous vaccination or infection with S typhi.
2. Cross-reaction with non – typhoidal Salmonella.
3. in association with some autoimmune diseases.
4. Infection with malaria
![Page 34: Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Clinical Immunology & Serology Practice (MLIS 201)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145bd550346895db2c7b6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
False Negative Reactions with WIDAL Test
1. Early treatment,
2. Relapses of typhoid fever.
3. Occasionally the infecting strains are poorly immunogenic.
![Page 35: Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Clinical Immunology & Serology Practice (MLIS 201)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145bd550346895db2c7b6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Typical Serological Profile After Acute Infection
Note that during Reinfections, IgM may be absent or present at a low level transiently

• Slide Widal test is more popular as it gives rapid results.Qualitative test: 1 drop of undiluted patient’s serum sample for the 2 antigens is placed on the circled card.
1 drop of each of 2 salmonella antigens are added separately rotated gently for 1 min. Appearance of agglutination gives qualitative results. (semiquantitative test is repeated with dilutions of serum)
Slide Widal test:
![Page 37: Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Clinical Immunology & Serology Practice (MLIS 201)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568145bd550346895db2c7b6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Semi-quantitative test: 80µl, 40µl, 20µl, 10µl, 5µl, of patient’s serum each for 2 salmonella antigens are placed on the circled
card.
one drop of specific antigen is added to each series of serum.
Agglutination of each of these is noted.
Interpretation 80µl corresponds to 1 in 20 dilution. 40µl corresponds to 1 in 40 dilution. 20µl corresponds to 1 in 80 dilution. 10µl corresponds to 1 in 160 dilution. 5µl corresponds to 1 in 320 dilution.

Prevention
Two main typhoid fever prevention strategies:
1. Vaccination
.
2. Avoid risky food and drinks

Medication
Antibiotics
• Antibiotics, such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol, fluoroquinolone
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin etc used to treat typhoid fever.
• Prompt treatment of the disease with antibiotics reduces the case-fatality rate to approximately 1%.
