Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology
  • Microbiology

Context:

  • Typhoid fever cases are increasing in Norway.
  • Travel, particularly by immigrants visiting home countries, is a significant factor.
  • The study retrospectively analyzed 50 hospitalized patients.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of typhoid fever in hospitalized patients.
  • To identify trends in treatment resistance and associated clinical outcomes.

Summary:

  • Fever was the primary symptom; 13 patients had concomitant infections.
  • Standard chloramphenicol treatment was challenged by multi-resistant Salmonella typhi strains in 1990-1991.
  • Adults received ciprofloxacin, children third-generation cephalosporins; all resistant cases were linked to Pakistan or India.
