Overview
There is no established classification system for typhoid fever. Typhoid fever may be classified informally based on duration of illness, serologic type, severity of illness, and virulence factors.[1]
Classification
There is no established classification system for typhoid fever. However, typhoid fever may be classified informally as follows.[1]
Duration of illness
- Sudden-onset
- Severe in nature
- Lasts < 12 months
- Mostly symptomatic
- Lasts > 12 months
- Less severe
- Asymptomatic
- Spread infection to others
Severity of illness
- Early diagnosis and treatment
- Antibiotic susceptibility
- Absence of complications
Moderate to severe disease[7][6]
- Late presentation
- Presence of complications
- Antibiotic resistance
Virulence factors
High virulence factors[8][9][1]
- PhoP/phoQ genes
- CdtB protein
- Vi antigen positive strains
Low virulence factors[3][10][11]
- Absence of above factors
- Presence of following host factors
- C282 mutation
- CFTR mutation
