Salmonella enteric serotype Typhi has created a significant therapeutic problem as these strains have developed resistance to the commonly used antimicrobials for the treatment of typhoid fever.
To assess the clinical profile and sensitivity patterns to anti-typhoid drugs.
A retrospective analysis of 106 culture-positive typhoid cases admitted in a tertiary care hospital during the years 2005-2008.
Records of 106 patients were evaluated, 83 (78.3%) males and 23 (21.7%) females. Fever was present in all patients. Headache in 63 (59.4%) patients and generalized body ache in 53 (32.5%) patients were the most common symptoms, while spleenomegaly in 47 (44.3%) patients and hepatomegaly in 42 (39.6%) patients were the common presenting signs. A maximum sensitivity of 96.6% was observed with cephalosporins, whereas a resistance of 29.2% was seen with fluoroquinolones.
A high degree of sensitivity was noted to chloramphenicol, ampicillin and sulphonamides, showing a trend of roll-back of sensitivity to conventional antibiotics.
伤寒沙门氏菌血清型伤寒杆菌引发了重大的治疗难题,因为这些菌株已对治疗伤寒热常用的抗菌药物产生耐药性。
评估临床特征以及对伤寒药物的敏感性模式。
对2005年至2008年期间一家三级护理医院收治的106例培养阳性伤寒病例进行回顾性分析。
对106例患者的记录进行了评估,其中男性83例(78.3%),女性23例(21.7%)。所有患者均有发热症状。63例(59.4%)患者出现头痛,53例(32.5%)患者出现全身疼痛,这些是最常见的症状;47例(44.3%)患者出现脾肿大,42例(39.6%)患者出现肝肿大,这些是常见的体征。头孢菌素的最大敏感性为96.6%,而氟喹诺酮类药物的耐药率为29.2%。
氯霉素、氨苄西林和磺胺类药物的敏感性较高,显示出对传统抗生素敏感性回升的趋势。
