The Danger of Typhoid
Here we inform the treatment management of carrier typhoid fever which is associated with Amoxicillin, where we discussed first about the definition of typhoid fever carrier. Typhoid fever is already known by most of the people but often misguided; they are rather familiar with the term of “typhoid symptoms” or “typhoid”. They often presume that typhoid symptoms are not the real typhoid disease. They have a very limited knowledge and still ambiguous about typhoid fever, especially with the term of carrier typhoid.
Carrier typhoid fever is a risk factor for the occurring of typhoid fever outbreak. Poor sanitation and low standard socio-economic would further complicate the efforts to overcome this disease. This factor is the thing that is feared by the developed countries tourists’ attractions against tourism area in the developing countries, including Indonesia. Over 50% of typhoid cases in the United States come from the people who visited the endemic countries.
Epidemiologi, Incidence, and Risk Factors of the Career Occurence. Among clinically cured typhoid fever, 20% of them are still found S.typi germ after 2 months and 10% are still found on the third month and 3% are still found after one year. The case of carrier increases along with the increasing age and gallbladder disease.
The definition of people with typhoid (carrier) is someone who has stools (faeces or urine) that containing S.typhi after one year of post-typhoid fever, without any clinical symptoms. It is called post-healing carrier when S. typhi germ can still be found in the feces or urine for 2 – 3 months. Typhoid carrier does not cause clinical symptoms (asymptomatic) and 25% of cases denied a history of acute typhoid fever.
