Enteric fever imported to the Czech Republic: epidemiology, clinical characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility

Original language description

Background: Enteric fever represents serious health risk for travellers to endemic countries. In the years 2004-2012 there have been reported 59 cases of enteric fever in the Czech national surveillance system (EPIDAT). Methods: Descriptive study included adult patients treated with enteric fever at Hospital Na Bulovce during 1/2004 - 12/2012. A case of typhoid or paratyphoid fever was defined as isolation of Salmonella Typhi or Paratyphi from blood or stool. Clinical and microbiological data were collected and analysed retrospectively. Results: During the study period there have been diagnosed 19 cases of enteric fever (12 males and 7 females) with age median 30 years; 14 cases caused by Salmonella Typhi and 5 cases by S. Paratyphi A. The infection has been acquired in South Asia (16 patients; 84.2%), in Africa (Egypt, Angola) in 2 cases (10.5%), and in Mexico (1; 5.3%). Symptoms included fever (all patients), diarrhoea (16 cases; 84.2%), headache (9; 47.4%), and abdominal pain (7; 36
