lüll Clinical pathogenesis of typhoid fever Raffatellu M; Wilson RP; Winter SE; Baumler AJJ Infect Dev Ctries 2008[Aug]; 2 (4): 260-6Human infections with Salmonella enterica results in two major groups of diseases: gastroenteritis and typhoid fever. Clinical observations suggest that gastroenteritis, caused by non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars, is characterized by a massive neutrophil influx, which keeps the infection localized to the intestinal mucosa. In contrast, the absence of neutrophilic intestinal infiltrates in the acute phase of typhoid fever suggests a propensity for typhoidal Salmonella serovars (S. Typhi, S. Paratyphi A, S. Paratyphi B and S. Paratyphi C) to evade aspects of the innate immune response and cause a systemic infection. The fact that there are no virulence genes shared by typhoidal Salmonella serovars that are absent from non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars, suggests that this innate immune evasion is mediated by different mechanisms in different typhoidal serovars.
