Overview
Pathogenesis
The pathogenesis of typhoid fever consists of following sequence of events.
Innoculation
- Orofecal transmission.
- Infective dose 1000 to 1 million organisms.
Gastrointestinal Infection
Stomach
- Bacterium enters stomach.
- Survives pH as low as 1.5
Small intestine
- Adherence to mucosal cells via special proteins.
- Invade mucosal M cells overlying peyer's patches
- Internalisation in M cells of ileum.
- Translocation to underlying lymphoid tissue and draining lymph nodes.
Systemic spread
- Dissemination of S.typhi to reticuloendothelial system.
- Spreads via lymph and blood
- Replication within reticuloendothelial system such as spleen, liver, bone marrow.
- Evades immune system by hiding intracellularly within macrophages.
Chronic carrier state
- Resides and multiplies in gall bladder
- Excretion in urine and stool infecting other individuals.
