  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/typhoid-fever/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20378665

  Antibiotic therapy is the only effective treatment for typhoid fever. […] The medicine you get to treat typhoid fever may depend on where you picked up the bacteria. […] Antibiotics that may be given for typhoid fever are: Fluoroquinolones. These antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin (Cipro), may be a first choice. […] Cephalosporins. This group of antibiotics keeps bacteria from building cell walls. […] Macrolides. This group of antibiotics keeps bacteria from making proteins. […] Carbapenems. These antibiotics also prevent bacteria from building cell walls. […] Other treatments include: Drinking fluids. This helps prevent the dehydration caused by a long fever and diarrhea. […] Surgery. If the intestines are damaged, you may need surgery to repair them.

  https://www.cdc.gov/typhoid-fever/hcp/clinical-guidance/index.html

  Antibiotic use helps patients recover faster and lowers the risk of complications and death. […] High rates of antimicrobial resistance can limit treatment options. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing can help guide treatment decisions. […] While waiting for culture results, obtain a thorough travel history to inform empiric treatment. […] Uncomplicated illness may be treated empirically with azithromycin. […] Complicated illness may be treated empirically with a carbapenem. […] Ceftriaxone and azithromycin remain appropriate empiric treatment options for patients returning from most countries other than Iraq and Pakistan. […] Most typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever infections diagnosed in the United States are caused by strains that are not susceptible to fluoroquinolones. Do not use fluoroquinolones for empiric treatment.

• #4 Current concepts in the diagnosis and treatment of typhoid fever

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1489205/

  Despite advances in technology and public health strategies, typhoid fever remains a major cause of morbidity in the developing world. […] Recent emergence of drug resistance especially to common, first line antibiotics and quinolones has made it very difficult and expensive for health services to manage the disease. […] Rapid diagnosis and institution of appropriate antibiotic treatment are essential for optimal management, especially in children. […] Appropriate antibiotic treatment (the right drug, dose, and duration) is critical to curing typhoid with minimal complications. […] The emergence of multidrug resistant typhoid in the 1990s led to widespread use of fluoroquinolones as the treatment of choice for suspected typhoid, especially in South Asia and South East Asia where the disease was endemic.

• #5 Typhoid Fever: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17730-typhoid-fever

  Typhoid can be life-threatening and should be treated promptly with antibiotics. […] Typhoid is treated with antibiotics. Some newer types of the bacteria are able to survive antibiotic treatments, so you’ll be treated with different antibiotics depending on what type of typhoid you have and where you got sick. Paratyphoid fever is also treated with antibiotics. […] Your healthcare provider will treat typhoid fever with antibiotics, which may include: Ciprofloxacin, levoflaxin or ofloxacin. Ceftriaxone, cefotaxime or cefixime. Azithromycin. Carbapenems. […] If your case is severe, you may be treated with steroids, like dexamethasone. […] Many cases of typhoid can’t be destroyed by antibiotics we once used, but some drugs still work on them. […] You’ll be treated with an antibiotic that works on the kind of typhoid you have based on the results of strain testing. […] To take care of yourself, make sure you finish all of your medicines as prescribed by your healthcare provider. […] If you’re treated early with an antibiotic, you should start to feel better in a few days. It might take a week to 10 days to feel completely recovered.

• #6 Typhoid Fever Causes, Symptoms, Treatment and Vaccine

  https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/typhoid-fever

  Some of the antibiotics that your doctor may use include: Carbapenems, Cephalosporins, such as ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, or cefixime, Fluoroquinolones, such as ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, or ofloxacin (these are the most often used), Macrolides, such as azithromycin. […] Some bacteria have developed antibiotic resistance, which means that only a few antibiotics work on them. If you get one of these strains, typhoid fever can be very hard to treat and may result in long-term health problems, which can be life-threatening. Your doctor may do extra tests to see which antibiotics will work on your infection. […] To help prevent antibiotic resistance, make sure you complete the entire course of antibiotics as directed by your doctor. […] Because of the chance of exposure to antibiotic-resistant strains of S. Typhi, make sure you get vaccinated before you travel. Also, practice good hygiene, especially in regions that have high rates of typhoid fever. […] No diet can treat typhoid fever, but you can ease some of your symptoms by choosing easy-to-digest foods that give you a lot of nutrients.

• #7 Typhoid Fever – Infectious Diseases – Merck Manual Professional Edition

  https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/infectious-diseases/gram-negative-bacilli/typhoid-fever

  Treatment is with ceftriaxone, a fluoroquinolone, or azithromycin. […] In general, preferred antibiotics include ceftriaxone for 14 days. […] Fluoroquinolones for 7 to 10 days. […] For fluoroquinolone-resistant strains, azithromycin 1 g orally on day 1, then 500 mg once a day for 6 days can be tried. […] Corticosteroids may be added to antibiotics to treat severe toxicity. […] Nutrition should be maintained with frequent feedings. […] Intestinal perforation and associated peritonitis call for surgical intervention and broad gram-negative and anti Bacteroides fragilis coverage.

[…] Carriers with normal biliary tracts should be given antibiotics based on susceptibility testing.

• #8 Treatment of enteric fever (typhoid and paratyphoid fever) with cephalosporins

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9686137/

  Typhoid and paratyphoid (enteric fever) are febrile bacterial illnesses common in many low and middle-income countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends treatment with azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, or ceftriaxone due to widespread resistance to older, first-line antimicrobials. […] A Cochrane Review of the use of fluoroquinolones and azithromycin in the treatment of enteric fever has previously been undertaken, but the use of cephalosporins has not been systematically investigated and the optimal choice of drug and duration of treatment are uncertain. […] To evaluate the effectiveness of cephalosporins for treating enteric fever in children and adults compared to other antimicrobials. […] We included 27 RCTs with 2231 total participants published between 1986 and 2016 across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Caribbean, with comparisons between cephalosporins and other antimicrobials used for the treatment of enteric fever in children and adults.

  Ceftriaxone is an effective treatment for adults and children with enteric fever, with few adverse effects. […] Trials suggest that there may be no difference in the performance of ceftriaxone compared with azithromycin, fluoroquinolones, or chloramphenicol. […] Cefixime can also be used for treatment of enteric fever but may not perform as well as fluoroquinolones. […] Based on very low to low certainty evidence, ceftriaxone is an effective treatment for adults and children with enteric fever, with few adverse effects. […] The optimal choice of drug and duration of treatment are uncertain. […] Clinicians need to take into account current, local resistance patterns in addition to route of administration when choosing an antimicrobial. […] There may be no difference in the performance of ceftriaxone (a type of cephalosporin) compared with azithromycin, fluoroquinolones, or chloramphenicol (other antimicrobial medicines) for adults and children with enteric fever (typhoid fever).

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/231135-medication

  Since 2016, Salmonella typhi, and to a lesser extent Salmonella paratyphi, have progressively developed resistance to the previously effective antibiotics. Multi-drug-resistant (MDR) typhoid is resistant to ampicillin, trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole, and chloramphenicol. XDR typhoid has become resistant to chloramphenicol ampicillin, floroquinolones, and third generation cephalosporins. Only azithromycin, members of the carbapenem class, and tigecycline remain effective against XDR isolates. […] Since recognition of XDR typhoid fever has been documented in the United States among those who did not travel internationally, appropriate treatment for this disease should consist of azithromycin with or without addition of a carbapenem depending on the severity of the clinical presentation. […] Dexamethasone may decrease the likelihood of mortality in severe typhoid fever cases complicated by delirium, obtundation, stupor, coma, or shock if bacterial meningitis has been definitively ruled out by cerebrospinal fluid studies.

  Effective treatment significantly reduces the risk of complications and death. […] Hydrate and treat fever (Chapter 1). Fever usually resolves 4 to 5 days after starting effective antibiotic treatment. […] Choice of antibiotic treatment depends on the susceptibility of the strain, or when susceptibility is unknown, on recent data on susceptibility of strains in the region. […] Uncomplicated cases (the vast majority of cases) can be treated with an oral antibiotic treatment. […] First-line antibiotics: azithromycin PO for 7 days (including for MDR and XDR cases, and pregnant women) […] Severe cases should be treated under close monitoring. Antibiotic treatment is initially parenteral, then oral when there is decreasing fever, clinical improvement and the patient can tolerate oral treatment.

  Typhoid fever can usually be treated successfully with a course of antibiotic medicine. […] The infection can usually be treated at home, but you may need to be admitted to hospital if it’s severe. […] If typhoid fever is diagnosed in its early stages, a course of antibiotic tablets may be prescribed for you. Most people need to take these for 7 to 14 days. […] Any blood, poo or pee samples taken during your diagnosis will usually be tested in a laboratory to determine which strain you’re infected with, so you can be treated with an appropriate antibiotic. […] Your symptoms should begin to improve within 2 to 3 days of taking antibiotics. But it’s very important you finish the course to ensure the bacteria are completely removed from your body. […] Hospital admission is usually recommended if you have severe symptoms of typhoid fever, such as persistent vomiting, severe diarrhoea or a swollen stomach.

  If a patient presents with unexplained symptoms described in Table 1 within 60 days of returning from a typhoid fever (enteric fever) endemic area or following consumption of food prepared by an individual who is known to carry typhoid, broad-spectrum empiric antibiotics should be started immediately. Treatment should not be delayed for confirmatory tests since prompt treatment drastically reduces the risk for complications and fatalities. Antibiotic therapy should be narrowed once more information is available. […] Compliant patients with uncomplicated disease may be treated on an outpatient basis. They must be advised to use strict handwashing techniques and to avoid preparing food for others during the illness course. Hospitalized patients should be placed in contact isolation during the acute phase of the infection. Feces and urine must be disposed of safely.

  Typhoid fever is treated with antibiotics that kill the bacteria. It’s important for people with typhoid fever to take the medicine for the whole time that the doctor prescribes, even if they feel better. Stopping too soon means some bacteria could remain. […] Most people start feeling better within 2–3 days of starting treatment. They should drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Someone who gets severely dehydrated due to diarrhea might need to get IV (intravenous) fluids in a hospital or other medical care facility. […] If your child has typhoid, acetaminophen can help reduce fever and make them feel more comfortable. Call a doctor right away if your child’s symptoms last, if they go away and come back, or if your child has any new symptoms. […] People with typhoid fever should stay home until the disease has run its course and a doctor makes sure that the bacteria are gone. Those who work in the food service industry may not legally be allowed to return to work until a doctor has proved they are free of the bacteria.

  In hospital, you’ll have antibiotic injections and you may also be given fluids and nutrients directly into a vein through an intravenous drip. […] Most people respond well to hospital treatment and improve within 3 to 5 days, but it may be several weeks until you’re well enough to leave hospital. […] If this happens, the symptoms usually return around a week after antibiotic treatment has finished. […] Further treatment with antibiotics is usually recommended. […] You may need to have a further 28-day course of antibiotics to „flush out” the bacteria.

• #18 Typhoid fever – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoid_fever

  As resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and streptomycin is now common, these agents are no longer used as first-line treatment of typhoid fever. Typhoid resistant to these agents is known as multidrug-resistant typhoid. […] Ciprofloxacin resistance is an increasing problem, especially in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Many centres are shifting from ciprofloxacin to ceftriaxone as the first line for treating suspected typhoid originating in South America, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, or Vietnam. Also, it has been suggested that azithromycin is better at treating resistant typhoid than both fluoroquinolone drugs and ceftriaxone. Azithromycin can be taken by mouth and is less expensive than ceftriaxone, which is given by injection.

• #20 Typhoid Treatment – Take on Typhoid

  https://www.coalitionagainsttyphoid.org/the-issues/typhoid-treatment/

  Fluoroquinolones are now widely regarded as the optimal treatment for typhoid because they clear symptoms more rapidly than the first-line antibiotics and have very low rates of post-treatment carriage, meaning that it is less likely for a patient to continue spreading the disease following completion of treatment. […] Increasing drug resistance places great pressure on public health systems in low- and middle-income countries that may not be able to afford or acquire these medicines. When these second-line antibiotics are unavailable, MDR typhoid becomes untreatable. […] Expanding coverage of typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCVs) through routine immunization can reduce the need for antibiotics, slow further emergence of drug-resistant typhoid strains, and save lives. Multiple modeling analyses project that TCV introduction can drastically reduce the number of drug-resistant typhoid cases and deaths. TCV introduction with catch up campaigns is projected to decrease the proportion of typhoid cases that are drug-resistant by more than 16% in Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance-eligible countries over ten years. Additionally, on average, two-thirds of cases and deaths due to fluoroquinolone resistant- and multidrug-resistant typhoid could be averted through TCV introduction in these countries. Furthermore, TCVs are forecasted to be one of the most impactful vaccines for preventing drug-resistance-associated deaths. TCVs could prevent 28,700 drug-resistance-associated deaths each year in children younger than 15 years old.

  Typhoid fever is typically caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi, and it is often treated with antibiotics. Commonly prescribed antibiotics for typhoid fever include ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and azithromycin. The choice of antibiotic may depend on factors such as the severity of the illness, local antibiotic resistance patterns, and the individual patient’s medical history. […] In addition to antibiotics, supportive care is essential to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Here are some general recommendations: Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water and oral rehydration solutions, to prevent dehydration caused by fever, sweating, and diarrhea. Nutrition: Consume a well-balanced diet to maintain nutritional status. In some cases, a healthcare provider may recommend a special diet based on individual needs. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help the body recover from the infection. Fever Management: Over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen (paracetamol) may be used to manage fever and discomfort. However, it’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s advice.

Small-bowel resection is indicated for patients with multiple perforations. […] If antibiotic treatment fails to eradicate the hepatobiliary carriage, the gallbladder should be resected. Cholecystectomy is not always successful in eradicating the carrier state because of hepatic infection. […] An infectious disease specialist should be consulted. Consultation with a surgeon is indicated upon suspected gastrointestinal perforation, serious gastrointestinal hemorrhage, cholecystitis, or extraintestinal complications (arteritis, endocarditis, organ abscesses). […] Fluids and electrolytes should be monitored and replaced diligently. Oral nutrition with a soft digestible diet is preferable in the absence of abdominal distension or ileus.

[…] If you are very ill or have complications such as vomiting, diarrhea, or swelling in your belly or brain, you may get additional treatments, such as steroids. You may also need to go to the hospital, especially if you’re dehydrated or need help breathing. […] Some people who have serious intestinal complications, such as peritonitis or ileal perforation, may need to have surgery to repair these. […] People who are carriers may need surgery to remove their gallbladder because the S. Typhi bacteria hide out there, and the organ’s removal can cure the infection. […] The S. Typhi bacteria in different areas may have slightly different versions (these are called „strains”). So, the bacteria you’re infected with may or may not respond to certain antibiotics. This is why you must tell your doctor where you’ve been traveling. This information will help your doctor pick the right antibiotic for you. They may also prescribe a combination of antibiotics.

The death occurred from overwhelming infection, pneumonia, intestinal bleeding, or intestinal perforation. Antibiotics and supportive care have reduced the mortality rate to 1%-2%. With appropriate antibiotic therapy, there is usually improvement within one to two days and recovery within 7 to 10 days. […] Several antibiotics are effective for the treatment of typhoid fever. Chloramphenicol was the original drug of choice for many years. Because of rare serious side effects, other effective antibiotics have replaced chloramphenicol. The choice of antibiotics needs to be guided by identifying the geographic region where the organism was acquired and the results of cultures once available. (Certain strains from South America show significant resistance to some antibiotics.) Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is the most frequently used drug in the U.S. for nonpregnant patients. Ceftriaxone (Rocephin), an intramuscular injection medication, is an alternative for pregnant patients. Ampicillin (Omnipen, Polycillin, Principen) and trimethoprim (Bactrim, Septra) are frequently prescribed antibiotics although resistance has been reported in recent years.

  The duration of typhoid fever treatment can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the illness, the individual’s overall health, and the specific treatment plan prescribed by the healthcare provider. Typically, treatment involves antibiotics to target the Salmonella bacteria responsible for the infection. The course of antibiotics may last for about 10 to 14 days, but it’s essential to complete the entire prescribed course even if you start feeling better before it’s finished. Failure to complete the antibiotic treatment may lead to a relapse or the development of antibiotic-resistant strains of the bacteria. During the treatment period, you may experience improvements in symptoms, such as fever reduction and a gradual return to normal energy levels. However, it’s common for recovery to take some time, and you might still feel fatigued even after the fever subsides. It’s crucial to follow your healthcare provider’s advice regarding rest, hydration, and dietary recommendations. Adequate rest is important to allow your body to recover, and maintaining proper hydration helps prevent dehydration, which can be a concern with typhoid fever.
