[Changes in hemograms of patients with epidemic typhoid]

In typhoid epidemy in Tadjikistan we studied hemograms obtained in 200 patients and 100 healthy controls matched by age. Though hematological shifts are considered to be typical of typhoid, most of the patients had no hematological disorders despite their severe condition. Hemograms were normal in half of the patients at the height of typhoid while other patients often (40-43%) had accelerated ESR, uneosinophilia and left shift of immature neutrophils.
