The clinical picture of 78 cases with proven typhoid and 18 cases with proven paratyphoid A fever is presented. The diagnosis was made by isolating the organisms from the blood. The Widal test could not be used as a diagnostic criterion. By means of chemotherapy with chloramphenicol (initial dose 30-40 mg/kg body weight) defervescence was achieved within an average of 4.5 days. The course of the disease was generally mild; one patient with typhoid fever died. The average hospital stay was 19 days. Four patients of the typhoid fever group were readmitted with a relapse. The laboratory examinations included blood clot culture, phage typing, Widal test, haemoglobin, leucocyte count, transaminases, serum bilirubin, and routine examination and culture of stool and urine. Forty-two patients were infected with intestinal parasites and 25 with Shigella organism. The findings are discussed and compared with findings of similar studies of enteric fever.
本文呈现了78例确诊伤寒患者和18例确诊甲型副伤寒患者的临床表现。诊断通过从血液中分离出病原体得出。维达试验不能用作诊断标准。通过使用氯霉素化疗（初始剂量为30 - 40毫克/千克体重），平均在4.5天内实现退热。疾病进程总体较轻；1例伤寒患者死亡。平均住院时间为19天。伤寒热组有4例患者复发再次入院。实验室检查包括血凝块培养、噬菌体分型、维达试验、血红蛋白、白细胞计数、转氨酶、血清胆红素以及粪便和尿液的常规检查与培养。42例患者感染肠道寄生虫，25例感染志贺氏菌属微生物。对这些发现进行了讨论，并与类似的伤寒热研究结果进行了比较。
