Abstract
Features of typhoid fever were correlated with age and gender through a review of the charts of 552
hospitalized culture-positive patients with diarrhea in Bangladesh. Seizures occurred more
frequently in children from birth through 10 years of age (5%–11%) and pneumonia more frequently
in children from birth through 5 years of age (8%–15%) than in older age groups (P < .O5), whereas
intestinal perforation occurred more frequently in patients ⩾11 years of age (5%–25%) than in
younger age groups (P < .05). Compared with older age groups, children from birth through 10 years
of age were more anemic, those from birth through 5 years of age had a higher mean white blood
cell count, and those from birth through 1 year of age had a lower mean blood carbon dioxide
content (all P < .05). Female patients were more severely anemic than male patients (P < .O5). The
case-fatality rate was 4.3% overall, with the highest rates for children from birth through 1 year of
age (11%)and adults ⩾31 years of age (10%). Female patients had a higher case-fatality rate (6%)
than male patients (3%), although the difference was not significant (P >.05). Death was
independently associated with seizures, intestinal perforation, pneumonia, and delirium or coma.
These results indicated that the patients with typhoid fever who were at highest risk of
complications and death were children from birth through 1 year of age and adults ⩾31 years of age.
