An outbreak called 'Dombivali fever' started in March 1990 and spread rapidly all over Bombay and adjoining area. A concomitant and steady increase in multidrug resistant Salmonella typhi isolation was observed. Later this outbreak called 'Dombivali fever' was proved to be resistant typhoid fever only. The present paper deals with comparison of this outbreak with previous two years laboratory data from Sir J.J. Hospital, Bombay. A very high isolation rate of S. typhi (215 isolates) in 1990 as compared to 62 isolates in the last two years (1988-89), was observed in this laboratory. The incidence of multidrug resistance in cases of enteric fever (EF) was also very high (67.6%) in 1990, as compared to 6.2% in 1988 and 23.3% in 1989. All the strains tested in 1990 were sensitive to ciprofloxacin.
一场名为“东比瓦利热”的疫情于1990年3月爆发，并迅速蔓延至孟买及周边地区。与此同时，多重耐药伤寒沙门氏菌的分离率稳步上升。后来，这场名为“东比瓦利热”的疫情被证实只是耐药性伤寒热。本文将此次疫情与孟买J.J.医院前两年的实验室数据进行了比较。该实验室观察到，1990年伤寒沙门氏菌的分离率非常高（215株），而过去两年（1988 - 1989年）为62株。1990年肠热病（EF）病例中的多重耐药发生率也非常高（67.6%），相比之下，1988年为6.2%，1989年为23.3%。1990年测试的所有菌株对环丙沙星敏感。
