“…Similarly, ESR value was found high in these typhoid patients. In 2015 same high values of ESR have been reported in 100% of cases of Salmonella myocarditis [28,29]. Hemoglobin level were decreased from normal value in patients in accordance with the previously report [30].…”

Introduction: Typhoid fever is an acute, generalized infection of the reticuloendothelial system, which is caused by Salmonella typhi and causes substantial and hepatic complications and biochemical changes. Currently, the diagnostic test is isolation of bacteria from blood, stool and occasionally urine, but serologic tests are still commonly used, and there is still a necessity for the rapid and reliable diagnostic test for typhoid fever. The objective of this study was to determine the hematological changes in adult typhoid patients as compared to healthy control. Methodology: A total of 50 patients and 50 healthy individuals were enrolled in this research, and variations in hematological factors were studied. Results: Hematological parameters were found deranged in typhoid fever including hemoglobin (low, 10.97±0.88), hematocrit (low, 37.72±1.40), ESR (high 45.08±13.42), platelet count (high 588840±97185), WBCs count (high 38267±22279), neutrophil percentage (high, 73.56±9.96), lymphocyte percentage (low, 21.24±10.08), and NLCR (high, 5.14±4.00) as compared to healthy control group. Conclusion: This differentiating pattern is easy to obtain by minimal invasive procedure and can be used for typhoid infection diagnosis.

Typhoid fever results in significant hepatic problems and biochemical abnormalities. The most effective diagnostic procedure now is the bacterial culture, but serologic tests are still often used, and a speedy and accurate diagnostic test for typhoid fever is still required. Objectives: To examine the haematological parameters between typhoid patients and healthy individuals to find any distinctive parameters that could be used as typhoid fever diagnostic indicators. Methods: This study set out to compare haematological changes in 550 patients with 550 healthy persons. Results: We found low hemoglobin (8.95±1.43), low hematocrit (32.62±5.38), high ESR (53.89±9.21), high platelet count (482003±86792), high WBCs count (14464±1694), high neutrophil percentage (63.60±9.26), low lymphocyte percentage (25.33±2.93), and high NLCR (2.498±0.45) against the healthy control group. Conclusions: This distinctive pattern can be easily obtained using a minimally invasive method and used to diagnose typhoid fever.
