Secondary prevention
There are no established guidelines for secondary prevention of typhoid fever. However, following strategies may help reduce progression of disease and prevent complications in the affected individuals:[1]
- Early diagnosis and prompt treatment with antibiotics.
- Good nursing care and fluid electrolyte balance.
- Adequate nutrition.[2]
- Steroids may have role in severe illness to decrease mortality and morbidity.[3]
- Antibiotics and cholecystctomy may help prevent chronic carrier state.[4]
