During a prospective study among 234 patients admitted with fever in two rural hospitals in West and Central Nigeria 38 cases of typhoid fever were found. The diagnosis was based on extensive serological testing in the Netherlands. The diazotest was introduced but appeared not helpful. The ordinary Widal test was not fully reliable. Eighty five percent of the patients responded to chloramphenicol. The course of typhoid fever in West Nigeria was more severe than in Central Nigeria. The findings are compared with those of similar studies of typhoid fever.
在尼日利亚西部和中部两家乡村医院对234名发热入院患者进行的一项前瞻性研究中，发现了38例伤寒热病例。诊断是基于在荷兰进行的广泛血清学检测。引入了重氮试验，但似乎并无帮助。普通维达试验并不完全可靠。85%的患者对氯霉素有反应。尼日利亚西部的伤寒热病程比中部更严重。将这些发现与伤寒热的类似研究结果进行了比较。
