| chloramphenicol-resistant salmonella typhi in saigon. | chloramphenicol-resistant salmonella typhi was detected in saigon in september 1971. subsequently, 163 strains of s typhi were isolated, 46 percent of which were resistant to choramphenicol by the agar-disk method. sixty-two strains were studied by the broth-dilution method; 37 percent had minimal inhibitory concentrations for chloramphenicol greater than 250mug/ml, but all strains were susceptible to 0.4mug/ml of ampicillin and to a disk of a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (ba ... | 1975 | 1172682 |
| evaluation of rapid diagnostic tests for typhoid fever. | laboratory diagnosis of typhoid fever requires isolation and identification of salmonella enterica serotype typhi. in many areas where this disease is endemic, laboratory capability is limited. recent advances in molecular immunology have led to the identification of sensitive and specific markers for typhoid fever and technology to manufacture practical and inexpensive kits for their rapid detection. we evaluated three commercial kits for serologic diagnosis of typhoid fever. patients presentin ... | 2004 | 15131144 |
| The decline of typhoid and the rise of non-typhoid salmonellae and fungal infections in a changing HIV landscape: bloodstream infection trends over 15 years in southern Vietnam. | The etiological spectrum of bloodstream infections is variable between industrialized and developing countries and even within a defined location over time. We investigated trends in bloodstream infections at an infectious disease hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from 1994-2008. Amongst 66111 blood cultures performed, a clinically relevant pathogen was isolated in 7645 episodes (positivity rate; 116/1000 cultures). Salmonella Typhi was the predominant pathogen until 2002; however, a consid ... | 2012 | 22137537 |
| [children typhoid fever in saigon (vietnam) : epidemiological and biological aspects (author's transl)]. | a review of 130 children cases of typhoid fever in saigon (vietnam). leuco-neutropenia is far from regular but thrombopenia is frequent. the typhoid bacillus is generally cultivated from blood during the first two weeks of the evolution. there is evidence in most s. typhi strains of a plasmid resistance for streptomycine, chloramphenicol, tetracycline and sulfamides. strains of the various other enterobacteria of the intestinal flora are generally resistant for many more antibiotics than s. typh ... | 1979 | 537490 |

| [typhoid fever in vietnam. i. bacteriological study (607 salmonella strains isolated from 1961 to 1975 at the grall hospital of saigon)]. | from 1961 to 1975, researches on salmonellosis have been carried out in hospital grall, in saigon, mainly during two periods (1961-1964, then 1971-1975). 607 strains of salmonella have been isolated for these 15 years (558 s. typhi and 49 salmonella, among several other serotypes). as typhoid fever is most important, the authors have studied this disease very carefully. the most efficacious technique of isolating is hemoculture. with coproculture, the results are disappointing. scarcely, some st ... | 1979 | 537488 |
| antibodies to the vi capsule of salmonella typhi in the serum of typhoid patients and healthy control subjects from a typhoid endemic region. | there is very little published data on the antibody response to the vi capsular polysaccharide (vi-cps) of s. typhi during naturally acquired typhoid fever in an endemic area. | 2008 | 19741294 |
