Fiebre Tifoidea (Fiebre Entérica)

La fiebre tifoidea (o entérica) es una infección bacteriana sistémica grave causada clásicamente por el bacilo intracelular facultativo y Gram negativo Salmonella enterica Salmonella enterica A subgenus of Salmonella containing several medically important serotypes. The habitat for the majority of strains is warm-blooded animals. Salmonella serotipo Typhi ( S. Typhimurium S. typhimurium A serotype of Salmonella enterica that is a frequent agent of Salmonella gastroenteritis in humans. It also causes paratyphoid fever. Salmonella, antes S. typhi). S. enterica serotipo Paratyphi A, B o C puede causar un síndrome similar. Cada año se producen hasta 20 millones de nuevos casos de fiebre tifoidea en EN Erythema nodosum is an immune-mediated panniculitis (inflammation of the subcutaneous fat) caused by a type IV (delayed-type) hypersensitivity reaction. It commonly manifests in young women as tender, erythematous nodules on the shins.

La transmisión se produce por vía fecal-oral, y el ser humano es el único reservorio conocido. Las complicaciones de la fiebre tifoidea incluyen hemorragia intestinal, pericarditis Pericarditis Pericarditis is an inflammation of the pericardium, often with fluid accumulation. It can be caused by infection (often viral), myocardial infarction, drugs, malignancies, metabolic disorders, autoimmune disorders, or trauma. Acute, subacute, and chronic forms exist. Pericarditis, abscesos viscerales y septicemia. El tratamiento depende de los LOS Neisseria patrones de resistencia a los LOS Neisseria antimicrobianos, pero las opciones incluyen la azitromicina y las fluoroquinolonas.
