Infectious and parasitic diseases

Salmonellosis

Salmonellosis is an acute zoonotic infectious disease with a fecal-oral mechanism of transmission of the pathogen, characterized by a primary lesion of the gastrointestinal tract, the development of intoxication and dehydration.

Paratyphoid

Paratyph - acute infectious diseases, similar in etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, morphology and clinic with typhoid fever. Allocate paratyphoid A, B and C.

Prevention of typhoid fever

Specific prophylaxis of typhoid fever and nonspecific prophylaxis of typhoid fever is singled out. According to epidemiological indications (incidence of more than 25 per 100 thousand of population, departure to countries with high incidence, constant contact with the carrier in conditions conducive to infection), vaccination with typhoid dry typhoid vaccine is carried out.

Treatment of typhoid in adults

Modern treatment of typhoid fever is based on the complex application of etiotropic and pathogenetic therapy. According to federal standards, the average length of hospitalization for patients with typhoid fever is 25 days, the average length of hospitalization is 30 days, and the average length of hospitalization is 45 days.

Diagnosis of typhoid fever in adults

Diagnosis of typhoid fever is based on epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data. The most informative method for diagnosing typhoid fever is the isolation of the blood culture of the pathogen. A positive result can be obtained throughout the febrile period, but more often at the onset of the disease

Symptoms of typhoid fever in adults

Typhoid fever has an incubation period that is between 3 and 21, usually 9-14 days, depending on the dose of the infectious infection, its virulence, the route of infection (shorter with food and longer for infection through water and direct contact), and the state macroorganism, after which the symptoms of typhoid fever appear.

What causes typhoid fever in adults?

For the pathogenesis of typhoid fever, the cyclicity and development of certain pathophysiological and morphological changes are characteristic. Infection occurs through the mouth, and the primary site of localization of pathogens is the digestive tract. Particularly it should be noted that infection does not always lead to the development of the disease.

Typhoid fever

Typhoid fever is an acute anthroponous infectious disease with a fecal-oral transmission mechanism, characterized by cyclic flow, intoxication, bacteremia and ulcerative lesions of the small intestine lymphatic system.

What causes meningeal syndrome?

Meningeal syndrome can be caused by an inflammatory process. Caused by various microbial flora (meningitis, meningoencephalitis) or non-inflammatory lesions of the brain membranes. In these cases, the term "meningism" is used. In case of inflammation, the etiologic factor may be bacteria (bacterial meningitis), viruses (viral meningitis), fungi (fungal meningitis), protozoa (toxoplasmosis, amoeba).

Meningeal syndrome

Meningeal syndrome is a symptom complex reflecting diffuse lesions of the membranes of the brain and spinal cord. Meningeal syndrome can be caused by an inflammatory process. Caused by various microbial flora (meningitis, meningoencephalitis) or non-inflammatory lesions of the brain membranes. In these cases, the term "meningism" is used.
