This document provides information about typhus, a disease caused by rickettsial bacteria that is transmitted through fleas, mites, lice or ticks. It discusses the different classifications of typhus based on the bacteria (epidemic louse-borne, murine, and scrub typhus). Symptoms for each type are outlined. Diagnostic tests, nursing care, drug treatments, and complications are also summarized. Prevention methods include maintaining hygiene, controlling rodents, avoiding travel to high risk areas, and chemoprophylaxis with doxycycline for those at high risk.

THYPUS S16A NUR AENI KHASANAH (S16047) NUR KHOLIS (S16048) OULYVIA MARITA (S16049) RARA SUCI RAMADHAN (S16050) RIKA NILAMSARI (S16051) What Is Thyphus? Typhus is a disease caused by infection with one or more rickettsial bacteria. Fleas, mites (chiggers), lice or ticks transmit it when they bite you. The Classification Of Thypus Condition Bacterium Reservoir/vector Epidemic louse- Rickettsia Body louse borne typhus prowazekii Murine typhus or Rickettsia typhi Fleas on rats "endemic typhus" Scrub typhus Orientia Harvest tsutsugamushi mites on humans or rodents Queensland tick Rickettsia australis Ticks typhus[12] or "Australian tick typhus" (and a spotted fever[13]) Symptoms of thypus EPIDEMIC TYPHUS SCRUB TYPHUS ENDEMIC THYPUS severe headache swollen lymph nodes dry cough high fever (above tiredness nausea and vomiting 102.2°F) red lesion or sore on diarrhea rash that begins on the skin at the site of the back or chest and the bite spreads cough confusion rash stupor and seeming out of touch with reality low blood pressure (hypotension ) eye sensitivity to bright lights severe muscle pain DIAGNOSTIC TEST • Skin Biopsy • Western Blot • Immunofluorescence Test • Blood Tests NURSING CARE 1. Safety measure and assistance if mentality drowsy or delirious. 2. Rectal temp every 2-4 and febrile measure p.r.n 3. I & O,force fluids,oberve,for urinary retention Continue... 4. If constipate,very low pressure saline enemas (to avoid rupture of ulcerated colon) 5. High Coloric ,low residue Diet. 6.Enteric Precaution. 7. Isolation Precaution. TREATMENT :DRUG THERAPY Antibiotics most commonly used to treat typhus include: • Doxycycline (Doryx, Vibramycin) • Chloramphenicol • Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) Complications of typhus
• Some complications of typhus include:
Hepatitis Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage Hypovolemia Prevention of Thypus • maintaining adequate personal hygiene (helps guard against lice carrying the disease) • controlling the rodent population (rodents are known to carry arthropods) • avoiding travel to regions where typhus exposure has occurred, or to countries that are high risk due to lack of sanitation • chemoprophylaxis with doxycycline (used as a preventive only in those at high risk, such as those on humanitarian campaigns in areas with extreme poverty and little or no sanitation) This is the end of our presentation..
