Abstract
Fifty blood culture positive patients of typhoid fever were studied during the current outbreak of the disease for their clinical profile. In 39 (78%) cases the isolates of S. typhi were resistant to conventional drugs. Children below 2 years of age constituted 20% of the total cases and belonged exclusively to the group with multidrug resistant typhoid fever (MRTF). The clinical presentation seemed to mimic malaria, bronchopneumonia, meningitis, etc. Typhoid hepatitis was diagnosed in 2 cases with MRTF. Life threatening complications were seen in 28.2% patients and were observed exclusively in MRTF group.Entities:
