Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common non-Hodgkin lymphomas. It has no typical or specific clinical features. DLBCL revealed by an abscess is a rare entity. CT is sensitive in detecting splenic abscesses, and it can define the exact location and extent of the abscess as well. The splenic abscess is associated with typhoid fever, AIDS, abdominal infections, pneumonia, bacterial endocarditis, and urogenital infections, parasitic abscesses, organ transplantation, or neoplastic diseases...

Salmonella is a gram-negative, motile, nonsporulating, facultative anaerobic bacillus, belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. The bacteria were first identified in 1884. It is transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or indirect contact by the consumption of contaminated food and water. More than 2500 serotypes of Salmonella enterica have been identified but less than 100 serotypes are known to cause infections in humans. S. enterica serovar typhi (S. typhi) and S. enterica serovar paratyphi (S...

In many suburban municipalities of developing countries, the household drinking water comes mainly from groundwater including, wells, streams and springs. These sources are vulnerable because poor hygienic conditions and sanitation prevail causing persistence and recurrent waterborne diseases. In this research, a survey study on water resource use and an epidemiological survey of waterborne diseases were conducted among users of water points and medical institutions in suburban communes of Selembao and Kimbanseke (Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo)...

Salmonella is a gram-negative bacterium, subdivided into typhoidal and non-typhoidal Salmonella. It is usually caused by eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs, or egg products. The clinical manifestations of Salmonella infection can be divided into five syndromes: enterocolitis (food poisoning), enteric (typhoid) fever, bacteremia/septicemia, focal infection, and a chronic carrier state, which is usually asymptomatic. The most common clinical presentation is diarrhea. Salmonella osteomyelitis occurs most frequently in patients with sickle-cell disease; other risk factors include other hemoglobinopathies, immunocompromised status, and chronic Salmonella carrier state...

INTRODUCTION: Infectious disease misinformation is widespread and poses challenges to disease control. There is limited evidence on how to effectively counter health misinformation in a community setting, particularly in low-income regions, and unsettled scientific debate about whether misinformation should be directly discussed and debunked, or implicitly countered by providing scientifically correct information. METHODS: The Contagious Misinformation Trial developed and tested interventions designed to counter highly prevalent infectious disease misinformation in Sierra Leone, namely the beliefs that (1) mosquitoes cause typhoid and (2) typhoid co-occurs with malaria...

Introduction Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to reducing the morbidity of patients with enteric fever/typhoid fever. Among the available diagnostic tests, the blood culture is considered a gold standard. However, in most of the developing and resource-limited settings, the diagnosis is made utilizing the traditional Widal test and rapid immunochromatographic test (ICT). This study was aimed to compare the diagnostic value and efficacy of ICT and traditional Widal test in the diagnosis of typhoid fever...

INTRODUCTION: Acute febrile diseases kill more than 250,000 people annually in West Africa. Malaria and typhoid fever traditionally occupy most of the total structure of registered fevers. However, these data do not fully reflect the true overall disease patterns in the West African region. This is due to the fact that diagnosis is mainly based on the clinical signs of the infectious process, suggesting that a certain number of diseases may be caused by arboviruses. The detection of specific antibodies (ABs) to infectious pathogens in the blood sera of residents of a particular area is a reliable indicator of the circulation of these pathogens in a particular territory...

BACKGROUND: Typhoid fever is a major public health problem in low-resource settings. Vaccination can help curb the disease and might reduce transmission. We have previously reported an interim analysis of the efficacy of typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) in Nepali children. Here we report the final results after 2 years of follow-up. METHODS: We did a participant-masked and observer-masked individually randomised trial in Lalitpur, Nepal, in which 20 019 children aged 9 months to younger than 16 years were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive a single dose of TCV (Typbar TCV, Bharat Biotech International, India) or capsular group A meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenA)...

The pathophysiological study of diabetes mellitus took an important place in the school of Montpellier since the end of the XIXth  century with Emmanuel Hedon's (1863-1933) contribution to the demonstration of the endocrine function of the pancreas. In 1942, a new sulfonamide compound (2254RP) was tested in the infectious diseases department of Pr M. Janbon (1898-1996) on cases of typhoid fever, leading to several deaths rapidly related to hypoglycaemia. The physiologist Auguste Loubatières (1912-1977) rapidly demonstrated that this hypoglycaemic effect required the presence of pancreas and was explained by stimulation of insulin secretion...

Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella typhi , a gram-negative organism. The disease usually presents with high-grade fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Gastrointestinal hemorrhage is a frequent complication of the disease. However, adequate treatment with antibiotics has lowered the rate of complications. We present the case of a 21-year-old male who was admitted to the hospital with high-grade fever and per rectal bleeding. A few hours after admission, the patient had episodes of massive per rectal bleeding which resulted in hemodynamic instability...

The appearance of antibiotic drugs revolutionized the possibilities for treatment of diseases with high mortality such as pneumonia, sepsis, plaque, diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid fever, and tuberculosis. Today fewer than 1% of mortalities in high income countries are caused by diseases caused by bacteria. However, it should be recalled that the antibiotics were introduced in parallel with sanitation including sewerage, piped drinking water, high standard of living and improved understanding of the connection between food and health...
