Abstract

Enteric fever is an acute systemic disease caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the organismSalmonella typhi or Salmonella paratyphi. It can involve virtually any body system and can present with a multitudeof presentations. Salmonella hepatitis is a recently coined term to describe the hepatic complications of typhoid fever.Acute hepatitis prevalence due to Salmonella is 1% to 26% of patients. We report a case of 10-year old boy whopresented with fever, jaundice and tender hepatomegaly. His blood culture was positive for Salmonella typhi andliver function test shows Acute hepatitis like picture. His ALT/ LDH ratio was 3 (ALT/LDH ratio< 9 is suggestiveof Salmonella hepatitis). He recovered completely to prompt administration of appropriate antibiotic therapy withsupportive management.
一名 10 岁男孩的沙门氏菌肝炎:病例报告
肠道热是一种急性全身性疾病,由摄入被伤寒沙门氏菌或副伤寒沙门氏菌污染的食物或水引起。它几乎可累及身体的任何系统,并有多种表现形式。沙门氏菌肝炎是最近创造的一个术语,用来描述伤寒的肝脏并发症。我们报告了一例 10 岁男孩的病例,他表现为发热、黄疸和触痛性肝肿大。他的血液培养对伤寒沙门氏菌呈阳性,肝功能检查显示为急性肝炎。他的谷丙转氨酶/谷草转氨酶比值为 3(谷丙转氨酶/谷草转氨酶比值小于 9 提示患有沙门氏菌肝炎)。在及时给予适当的抗生素治疗和支持性管理后,他完全康复。
