Overview
Common risk factors in the development of typhoid fever are travel to endemic areas, poor hygiene habits, poor sanitation conditions, proximity to flying insects feeding on feces, contact with someone who recently suffered from typhoid fever, recent use of antibiotics, achlorhydria, immunosuppressive illnesses such as AIDS, crowded housing, consumption of raw fruits and vegetables contaminated with sewage, and childhood.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The presence of the C282Y mutation and CFTR polymorphism may confer protection against typhoid fever. [7][8][9]
Risk factors
Common risk factors in the development of typhoid fever are:[1][2][3][10][11][6]
- Travel to endemic areas
- Poor hygiene habits
- Poor sanitation conditions
- Proximity to flying insects feeding on feces
- Contact with someone who recently suffered from typhoid fever
- Recent use of antibiotics
- Achlorhydria
- Immunosuppressive illnesses such as AIDS
- Crowded housing
- Consumption of raw fruits and vegetables contaminated with sewage
- Prolonged illness
- Being a health care worker
- Being a clinical microbiologists who handles salmonella typhi
- Childhood
Protective factors
Presence of certain biological characteristics may confer protection against typhoid fever.
C282Y mutation causing hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis results in depletion of intracellular iron in macrophages, which is required for growth of salmonella typhi.[7][8]
CFTR polymorphism
CFTR protein enables the translocation of salmonella typhi in the intestine if mutated, thereby conferring relative protection against typhoid fever.[9]
