The Impact

It has been done a study about the doctor’s educational efforts on the development of typhoid fever patient which hospitalization in dr. Widodo’s clinic. Typhoid fever is disease caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria transmission trought contaminated food and drink. Typhoid fever represents an endemic acute infection with a high mortality, in this case a laboratory test is needed to establish the early diagnosis. Habit hand washing after defecation, habit hand washing before eating, short dirty fingernail, frequent food street consumption, buy food street and buy some food with sealed packing can decrease the risk of typhoid fever. The aim of this study is to know the impact of doctor typhoid’s educational efforts on typhoid patients who came to the clinic and hospitalized. Study data taken from interview and observation. The development of data and exposure of results is qualitatively descriptive. There are four objects of observation and interview that are a doctor, a pharmacist and two patients. My study showed three points of typhoid fever educational efforts are to encourage sufficient rest, to monitor food ingested and to follow doctor’s orders during hospitalization.

Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella typhi. The definitive diagnosis can be made by isolation of Salmonella typhi from blood, bone marrow or other body fluids. To support the clinical diagnosis of typhoid fever in Indonesia, where most hospitals and health centres haveno facilities for cultures, a rapid test for the detection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) Salmonella typhi-specific IgM antibodies was evaluatedon serum samples from patients with typhoid fever. This study is proposed to know the rapid test diagnostic value for the detection oflipopolysaccharides (LPS) Salmonella typhi-specific IgM antibodies. A cross sectional, observational analytical study on 27 typhoidfever and 25 dengue hemorrhagic fever patients of the Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Dr. M Soewandhi General Hospital and Gotong-RoyongClinic has been conducted from January – May 2007. The diagnosis of typhoid fever patients was based on positive gall culture whilethe diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever was based on negative gall culture, positive serology examination for dengue hemorrhagicfever and a recovery from dengue hemorrhagic fever with standard treatment. The sera from patients were examined using a rapid testfor the detection of lipopolysacharides (LPS) Salmonella typhi specific IgM antibodies from Amgenix Onsight of the first blood samples(collected on admission to the hospital) the rapid test for IgM antibodies showed the following: sensitivity 70.4%, specificity 80.0%,positive predictive value 79.2%, negative predictive value 71.4%, diagnostic efficiency 75% respectively. Of the second blood samples(collected 2–3 weeks during the illness) therapid test for IgM antibodies showed the following: sensitivity 88.9%, positive predictive value 82.8%, negative predictive value 87.0%, and diagnostic efficiency 84.6% respectively. The rapid test for IgM antibodies has a high diagnostic value for typhoid fever. The assay uses stabilized components which can be stored at room temperature; the test does notrequire special equipment and may be used in health centres that have no facilities for culture.

Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella typhi, while typhus fever is a rickettsial infection. In both cases the patients present with almost similar pattern of illness and are often misdiagnosed. This is the case of a young lady who presented with 10 days history of fever and was diagnosed to have typhoid fever. She continued to be febrile despite ceftriaxone therapy. She was later found to have a typhus coinfection and improved with addition of doxycycline.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(6) 2017 40-41

ABSTRACT Typhoid fever is caused by gram-negative organism Salmonella typhi. The usual presentation is high-grade fever, but complications like gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage and perforation are also seen frequently. With the advent of antibiotics, these complications are rarely seen now. We present a case of a young female who was admitted with a diagnosis of typhoid fever presented with a massive GI bleed from ulcers in the terminal ileum and was managed conservatively without endotherapy and surgery.
