In developed countries, typhoid fever is a travel-associated disease that is often overlooked. However, as standard blood and stool culture methods have relatively low sensitivity, diagnosis depends heavily on clinical signs and symptoms and on a high level of suspicion.
Reported here is the case of an 18-year-old male who presented with fever and acute scrotal ulcers and whose blood cultures were positive for Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi. A review of genital ulcers associated with typhoid fever in the literature is discussed.
This report suggests that typhoid fever is a differential diagnosis of acute genital ulcers.
在发达国家,伤寒热是一种常被忽视的与旅行相关的疾病。然而,由于标准的血液和粪便培养方法灵敏度相对较低,诊断在很大程度上依赖于临床体征和症状以及高度的怀疑。
本文报告了一名18岁男性病例,该患者出现发热和急性阴囊溃疡,血液培养显示肠炎沙门氏菌伤寒血清型阳性。文中还讨论了文献中与伤寒热相关的生殖器溃疡。
本报告表明,伤寒热是急性生殖器溃疡的鉴别诊断之一。
