Abstract

Typhoid fever is an enduring classic among infectious diseases so much so that the first chapter in Sir William Osler’s magnum opus “The Principles and Practice of Medicine” was on typhoid fever.[1] More than a century later, unfortunately, typhoid fever continues to be an important cause of acute febrile illness in the tropics, which largely includes developing nations such as India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Vietnam.[2] Notwithstanding the fact that age-standardized incidence rates of typhoid and paratyphoid fevers had declined by about 55% between 1999 and 2017, typhoid and paratyphoid fevers caused an estimated 14.3 million cases and 136,000 deaths globally in 2017.[3]
伤寒:过去是现在的未来吗?
伤寒是传染病中经久不衰的经典,以至于威廉·奥斯勒爵士的代表作《医学原理与实践》的第一章都是关于伤寒的。[1] 不幸的是,一个多世纪后,伤寒仍然是热带地区急性发热性疾病的重要原因,热带地区主要包括印度、巴基斯坦、尼泊尔、孟加拉国和越南等发展中国家。[2] 尽管伤寒和副伤寒的年龄标准化发病率在1999年至2017年间下降了约55%,但2017年全球伤寒和副热病估计造成1430万例病例和13.6万人死亡。[3]
