Poisoning

is a general infection caused by
Salmonella Typhi involving primarily
the lymphoid tissues (Peyers Patches)
of the small intestine.
is a bacterial infection transmitted by
contaminated water, milk shellfish or
other foods

Salmonella Typhosa or Salmonella Typhi
Fecal Oral route
Rose Spot on the Abdomen
10-20 days

– as long as the bacteria are
excreted therefore another
important source of infection is
the stool of the patient

1. PRODROMAL OR GRADUAL ONSET/
INITIAL STAGE
Fever, Abdominal pain, diarrhea
Irregularly spaced small rose spot
on the abdomen, chest, trunk, and
back

2. FASTIGIAL STAGE
1. Ladderliked fever or stairway fever
2. Rose pot
3. Splenomegaly enlargement of the spleen

2. FASTIGIAL STAGE
Abdominal symptoms may become
marked abdominal distention
(tympanites)
Teeth and lips accumulate a dirty brown
collection of dried mucus and bacteria
known as (typhoid state)

 Restless alteration in the level of
consciousness
 Carphologia
– involuntary picking of linens
 Subsultus Tendinum
– involuntary twitching of the
tendon of the wrist

acute infection
exposed before to typhoid fever
Immunized with cholera typhoid
– are found among carriers

gastric mucosa and aggravate the
bleeding of the pt.

mucus and very scanty fecal
substance

Signs of Severe dehydration
Loss of voice
Oliguria

Fever may be low grade or moderate
at the start but becomes subnormal in
later stages especially when shock
occur

intestinal loss of isotonic fluid leading
to:

of bicarbonate rich stools
