Description
A photomicrograph showing histopathologic changes in the myocardium in a case of typhoid fever. Though not very common, S. typhi, the bacterium responsible for typhoid fever, can cause myocarditis. Note the leukocytic infiltrate present in the myocardium. The bacteria are transmitted through food or drinking water contaminated by the feces or urine of patients with typhoid, or through other carriers. Typhoid fever is an infection of the digestive system, causing high fever, rash, chills and sweating. A severe attack includes inflammation of the spleen and bones, delirium and erosion of the intestinal wall leading to hemorrhage.
