Typhoid and paratyphoid infections (STP) are an important differential diagnosis for Salmonella enteritidis infections (NTS). The aim of this study is to carve out clinical differences between both infections.
PATIENTS/METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all patients admitted to our hospital between 2007 and 2011 with a diagnosis of STP infection. History, clinical course and laboratory findings were compared with age-matched patients suffering from NTS.
RESULTS/DISCUSSION: All patients with an STP-infection showed had a positive travel history (as compared to 11.1% in the NTS group, p<0.01). Salmonella were mostly isolated from blood cultures (n=7/9) in the STP group as compared to 1/16 in the NTS group, where S. enteridis was mainly isolated from faecal cultures (p<0,01). The duration and height of fever as well as the time of hospitalization were significantly longer with STP infections than with NTS infections. Eosinopenia was observed both in STP-(100%) and NTS-infections (77.8%).
A positive travel history is crucial to the identification of a STP infection, as well as an eosinopenia.
伤寒和副伤寒感染(STP)是肠炎沙门氏菌感染(NTS)的重要鉴别诊断。本研究的目的是明确这两种感染之间的临床差异。
患者/方法:我们回顾性分析了2007年至2011年间我院收治的所有诊断为STP感染的患者。将其病史、临床病程和实验室检查结果与年龄匹配的NTS感染患者进行比较。
结果/讨论:所有STP感染患者均有阳性旅行史(NTS组为11.1%,p<0.01)。STP组沙门氏菌大多从血培养中分离出来(n=7/9),而NTS组为1/16,肠炎沙门氏菌主要从粪便培养中分离出来(p<0.01)。STP感染患者的发热持续时间和体温以及住院时间均显著长于NTS感染患者。STP感染(100%)和NTS感染(77.8%)均观察到嗜酸性粒细胞减少。
阳性旅行史以及嗜酸性粒细胞减少对于识别STP感染至关重要。
