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