In this matched case-control study, we evaluated the diagnostic usefulness of the classic signs of relative bradycardia and eosinopenia for predicting enteric fever among returned travellers. We found that these classic signs were more frequent in cases than controls: relative bradycardia (88% versus 51%) and absolute eosinopenia (63% versus 38%). We also found that the signs were diagnostic; the positive LR was 1.72 for relative bradycardia and 1.63 for absolute eosinopenia, and We report this rare association of enteric fever with ventricular bigeminy. With prompt institution of antibiotic therapy, the patient's symptoms improved and his rhythm reverted to normal sinus rhythm. Conclusion. Cardiovascular complications and ECG abnormalities have been observed in enteric fever, but isolated ventricular bigeminy is rare Febrile patients (>38.3˚C) with non-enteric fever, who had returned from the tropics or subtropics, were matched to the cases in a 1:3 ratio by age (±3 years), sex, and year of diagnosis as controls. Cunha's criteria were used for relative bradycardia. Absolute eosinopenia was defined as an eosinophilic count of 0/μL. View PDF; Download full issue; Pediatric Infectious Disease.

Absolute eosinopenia as a early diagnostic marker for enteric fever. Swati Kapoor, Rajeev Upreti, Monica Mahajan, Abhaya Indrayan and Dinesh Srivastava Major symptoms were fever(100%) ,generalized fatiguability(70%) and abdomen pain (54%).72.5% of the cases had relative bradycardia,61% had hepatomegaly,46% had pallor,43% had abdomen tenderness 22.5%.Most of the cases responded to a single antibiotic. Leucopenia and eosinopenia were more common. This study shows the clinical picture of enteric Enteric fever (EF) is a major public health problem and a witness of the global health disparities. It is caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (Salmonella ser. Typhi) and Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A, B, C (Salmonella ser.

Enteric Fever A retrospective study of all lab-confirmed cases of enteric fever in children aged 0-15 years at two Brussels teaching hospitals between January 2005 and December 2020 reports that the widest majority of enteredic fever affected patients (69%) had aneosinophilia, and almost all patients (93%) had eosinopaenia during their bacteriaemic phase. Enteric fever (EF) is a major public health Enteric fever is caused by gram negative bacilli Salmonella typhi and paratyphi. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Timely initiation of treatment is a crucial step for prevention of any complications. Cultures of body fluids are diagnostic, but not always conclusive or practically feasible in most centers. Moreover, the results of cultures delay the treatment • We report that the widest majority of our enteric fever affected patients (69%) had aneosinophilia (zero eosinophil count), and almost all patients (93%) had eosinopaenia (less than 50 eosinophi
