the dengue virus, a member of flavivirus group. the virus is easily destroyed by heat and chemicals. But it survives for several years at - 70°C.

Reservoir: only case is chief reservoir. no carrier state exists.

Age incidence: Dengue fever is common in young children and adults .but children have a milder disease than adults.

Sex incidence: it is more men than among women may be because men are more exposed and woman are better clothed.

Mode of transmission: is by the bite of infective, female, aedes mosquito.

Clinical features of dengue fever

High fever: sudden in onset, high, continuous, associated with severe prodromal symptoms, lasts for 1 weeks.

Clothing: Reduce the amount of skin exposed by wearing long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and socks, tucking pant legs into shoes or socks, and wearing a hat. 

Mosquito repellents: Use a repellent with at least 10 percent concentration of diethyltoluamide (DEET), or a higher concentration for longer lengths of exposure. Avoid using DEET on young children. 

Mosquito traps and nets: Nets treated with insecticide are more effective, otherwise the mosquito can bite through the net if the person is standing next to it. The insecticide will kill mosquitoes and other insects, and it will repel insects from entering the room.

Door and window screens: Structural barriers, such as screens or netting, can keep mosquito out.

Camping gear: Treat clothes, shoes, and camping gear with permethrin, or purchase clothes that have been pretreated. 

Timing: Try to avoid being outside at dawn, dusk, and early evening. 

Stagnant water: The Aedes mosquito breeds in clean, stagnant water. Checking for and removing stagnant water can help reduce the risk.

 

         To reduce the risk of mosquitoes breeding in stagnant water:

• turn buckets and watering cans over and store them under shelter so that water cannot accumulate
• remove excess water from plant pot plates
• scrub containers to remove mosquito eggs
• loosen soil from potted plants, to prevent puddles forming on the surface
• make sure scupper drains are not blocked and do not place potted plants and other objects over them
• use non-perforated gully traps, install anti-mosquito valves, and cover any traps that are rarely used
• do not place receptacles under an air-conditioning unit
• change the water in flower vases every second day and scrub and rinse the inside of the vase
• prevent leaves from blocking anything that may result in the accumulation of puddles or stagnant water

When camping or picnicking, choose an area that is away from still water.

                            Typhoid Fever

         What is Typhiod Fever?

         Typhoid  Fever also known as Enteric fever.it is a Water-brone disease.Typhoid Fever is caused by Salmonella typhio bacteria and Parathypio A and B. paratyphoid Fever is caused by parathypyi A and B. unless underwire specified, enteric Fever always mean typhoid fever paratypyio is less severe.

Typhoid Bacteria live in Gall Bladder for month, Intestine and year and pass Intermittently in Stool less in Urine.  They are also surviving Intracellular tissue like Spleen Kidney Heart and bone marrow.They can also survive in Water Soil Food sewage ice cream etc for long period 15 to 20 days.

·      Lack of personal hygiene such as non trimming nails also favors the spread typhoid fever through fingers.

·      Pathology and pathogenesis of Typhoid Fever

·      Typhoid bacteria enter the body through the mouth , the pathogenesis enter into the blood stream, reach reticuloendothelial cells, where they multiply and after rupture of RE cells, they poured into the resulting in Bacteraemia and circulate for one week.

After circulation they settle mainly in payer’s patches of ileum spleen and gallbladder result complicated.

Ileum: - Payer’s patches are the most commonest site of involvement. These patches are all inflamed resulting ulcers with discharge of bacilli and pus into lumen of gut. The mesenteric lymph nodes are also involved.

Spleen: - There is lymphoid hyperplasia result splenomegaly. The presence of Typhoid Bacteria in spleen may act as a seed of future relapse.  

 Gallbladder:-the chronic infection of Typhoid Bacteria in the gallbladder results in Cholecystitis and Cholelithiasis (Stones).

On autolysis, the pathogens release 

     Investigations for Typhoid Fever

Ø During first week of illness -Blood for culture

Ø During second week of illness - Blood for Widal, TC (leucopenia).

Ø During third week of illness – Blood for repeat Widal test and stool and Urine for culture.

Note: Blood for Widal test will negative during first week and blood for repeat Widal during third week shows increase in antibody titre, which is confirmative. Stool and urine culture will be positive only during week Onwards.
