Overview
The sequence of events in the pathogenesis of typhoid fever include inoculation, gastrointestinal infection, systemic involvement, and chronic carrier state.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Pathogenesis
The pathogenesis of typhoid fever consists of the following sequence of events.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Innoculation
- Orofecal transmission
- Infective dose: 1000 to 1 million organisms
Gastrointestinal Infection
Stomach
- Bacterium enters stomach
- Can survive a pH as low as 1.5
Small intestine
- Bacterium enters mucosa of the small intestine via M cells or direct penetration
- Adherence to the 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 may infect other individuals
