Re-emerging multidrug-resistant typhoid fever is becoming a worldwide threat, especially in East Africa. At the beginning of 2015, an outbreak of typhoid fever started in the capital city of Uganda, and 1940 suspected cases were reported by 5 March 2015. In this report, we describe a case of typhoid fever caused by a MDR strain with HIV infection and hemoglobin S-syndrome thalassemia in an Ugandan from Kampala City. It is essential to consider MDR strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi infections, including fluoroquinolone-resistant strains, in patients from Africa and Southeast Asia.
再度出现的多重耐药伤寒热正成为一个全球性威胁,尤其是在东非。2015年初,乌干达首都爆发了伤寒热疫情,截至2015年3月5日报告了1940例疑似病例。在本报告中,我们描述了一例由多重耐药菌株引起的伤寒热病例,患者为一名来自坎帕拉市的乌干达人,同时感染了艾滋病毒并患有血红蛋白S-地中海贫血综合征。对于来自非洲和东南亚的患者,必须考虑感染肠沙门氏菌血清型伤寒的多重耐药菌株,包括耐氟喹诺酮菌株。
