Paratyphoid fever is one of the major causes of morbidity of febrile illnesses in endemic regions. We report a case of high-grade fever in an infant who was positive for serovar Paratyphi B (. Paratyphi B) both in blood and stool cultures. The baby was enrolled in the passive surveillance of multicenter, multicomponent epidemiological study of enteric fever (Strategic Typhoid alliance across Africa and Asia; STRATAA) conducted in a population of 110,000 residents over 2 years in an urban slum, Dhaka, Bangladesh. This is the only patient who was positive for . Paratyphi B in blood and stool among more than 6,000 febrile ill patients enrolled in the passive surveillance. The report shows the significance of surveillance to identify changes in the epidemiology of enteric fever.
副伤寒发热是地方性流行区发热性疾病的主要病因之一。我们报告了一例婴儿高热病例,该婴儿血液和粪便培养均为副伤寒 B 血清型(副伤寒 B)阳性。该婴儿参与了在孟加拉国达卡的一个贫民窟进行的为期 2 年、针对 11 万居民的肠热病(横跨非洲和亚洲的战略伤寒联盟;STRATAA)多中心、多组分流行性病学研究的被动监测。这是在 6000 多名接受被动监测的发热患者中,唯一血液和粪便中副伤寒 B 阳性的患者。该报告显示了监测对识别肠热病流行病学变化的重要性。
