LAB DIAGNOSIS Bacteriological diagnosis of enteric fever consists of: • Isolation of bacilli • Demonstration of antibodies • Demonstration of circulating antigen • Other laboratory test
ISOLATION OF BACILLI Specimens:Blood Urine Faeces Aspirated duodenal fluid,etc..
BLOOD CULTURE Positive in, 90%-1st week 75%-2nd week 60% -3rd week 25%-till the subsidence of pyrexia
contd… • Blood collected is cultured on glucose &taurocholate broth.. • We must take care of contamination with external environment • Dilute or add sodium polyanethol sulphonate • Incubated at 37degrees • Castaneda’s method is also practiced
CLOT CULTURE • Aseptically collected blood is allowed to clot • Serum-used in widal test • Blood clot-added to bile broth containing streptokinase(causes lysis of blood clot)
FAECES CULTURE • Salmonella are shed in the faeces through out the disease even in convalescence • Antibiotic does not eliminate the bacilli from the GUT as it does 4m BLOOD
CULTURE • On McConkey agar & DCA media-Paleyellowcolonies • On wilson blair media • S.typhi-black colinies(with metallic sheen) • S.paratyphi-green colonies(due to absense of hydrogen sulphide • Enrichment media are incubated and then subcultured on selective media
S.typhi S.paratyhi WILSON BLAIR MEDIA
URINE CULTURE • Not much more imp as blood & faeces culture • Positive only in 2nd& 3 rd weekes • Urine sample is centrifuged &inoculated into enrichment &selective media
Other specimens • Bone marrow • Bile • Rose spots discharge • Pus • Suppurative lesions • Csf&sputum At autopsy-gallbladder,liver,spleen & mesenteric lymphnodes
SLIDE AGGLUTINATION TEST • A loopful ofgrowth from a nutrientagarisemulsified in two drops ofsaline on amicroscopic slide
1st emulsion-control To show the strain not agglutable 2nd emulsion-test Polyvalent “o”&polyvalent “H”are added Positive-presence of salmonella sps Then monovalent anti sera belongs to S.typhi are added If the isolate is fresh agglutination is done with “vi”antisera,alternatively the bacterial suspension is boiled for 20 mins which removes the vi antigens CONTD..
Non typhoid Salmonella sproducing acid and gas 4m carboydrates is tested for “O” &”H”antisera for groups A,B,C….. • NATIONAL SALMONELLAREFERENCE CENTRE at the CRI • INDIAN VETERINARY RESEARCH INSTITUTE,Izatnagar
DEMONSTRATION OF ANTIBODIES WIDALTEST PROCEDURE: DREYER”S TUBE - H agglitination FELIXTUBE - O agglutination 28 test tubes are arranged in 4 rows each row containing 7 tubes and named as 1st row-To 2nd row-Th 3rd row-Ah 4th row-Ao
Contd…. • To &Th for the detection of S.typhi • Ao &Ah for the detection of S.paratyphi • Of the 7 tubes one acts as control &remaining tubes as test
Contd…. • A low dilution of patient serum is 1:20 to 1:640 • All tubes in rack are incubated at 37 degrees for 24hrs&results are read after over night refrigeration at 4 degrees
Contd…. • Positive H agglutination-formation of loose,cotton wooly clumps • Positive O agglutination-disc like pattern at the bottom of tube • In both supernatent fluid is clear • Paratyphoid O antigens are not employed because theycross react with typhoid O antigen due to their haring of factor 12…
INTERPRETATION • Titre depends on stage of disease • On immunistion with TAB vaccine individuals may show high titres of antibody • In non immunised individuals high titre of H agglutinin indicates entericfever or latent infection • ANAMNESTIC REATION: • In carriers
DEMONSTRATION OF ANTIGENS • Ag present in blood and urine • PREPARATION OF ANTIGENS: S.aureus is stabilised with fprmaldehyde &then coated with S.typhi antibody • PROCEDURE: Patients serum is mixed with staphylococcal cells Positive-1st week.. • CIEP,ELISA
OTHER…. • TLC • DIAZO TEST IN URINE • TLC-leucopenia with a relative lymphocytosis is found • DIAZO TEST: • Positive -in b/w 5th &14th weeks
DIAGNOSIS….. • SPECIMENS: stool,urine,bile,duodenaldrainage Antibody ti vi antigen in serum is clamied indicate thecarrier state Convalescent &healthy carriers shed bacilli in faeces from 2 months to 1 yr… Where as chronic carriers shed bacilli in faeces from 1yr to several years
BACTERIOPHAGE TYPING: • BIO TYPING • PLASMID TYPING
TREATMENT • ANTOIBIOTICS: • chloramphenicol • ampicillin • furazolidone • cotrimoxazole • For multiresistent cases: • flouroquinolones • 3rd generation cephalosporins • Resistence has been devoloped to antibiotics • In salmonella gastro enterits antibiotics should not be used
Maintaining highgenic conditions Carriers should not be engaged in food preparation Vaccination PROPHYLAXIS
