Abstract
CME: Typhoid Fever - Clinical Manifestation, Diagnosis, Therapy and Prevention Abstract. Thypoid fever is rare in Western countries. It is, however, among the most common etiologies for febrile illness in the traveller returning from tropical areas (especially South(east) Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa). There are several signs that have been described as classical findings in typhoid fever: i) febrile temperatures with relative bradycardia, ii) eosinopenia, iii) slow defervescence, and iv) systemic manifestations (e.g. hepatitis). Diagnosis is confirmed by positive blood cultures. Pretravel vaccination and safe food and water practices can prevent typhoid fever.
