Abstract
|
|
|
“Typhoid cells” were observed on the bone marrow specimens obtained from 75
cases of 114 typhoid fever patients, and the following results were obtained;
1) Typhoid cells were observed in II(50.0%) of 22 bacteriologically proved cases, in 12(48.0°%) of 25 serologically proved cases, and in 9(32.1%) of 28 clinically suspected cases which were negative bacteriologically and serologically. Total obse￢rved cases of the typhoid cell were 32(42. 7%) of 75 subjects.
2) The rate of typhoid cell appearance (42. 7%) was more higher than the rate of positive culture examination (27.2%) and same result was observed even in clinically suspected cases (32. 1%). Typhoid cells were observed, at any time, during the course, even in clinically suspected cases in our series, and so it is considered that typhoid cell examination in the bone marrow is a very useful method in the diagn￢osis of typhoid fever, even in clinically suspected cases.
