1 Curriculum Vitae Name : Lie Khie Chen Birth : Jakarta Graduates MD : FKUI 1994 Internist : FKUI 23 Consultant : FKUI 26 Occupation Internal Medicine Department Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases Division Interest Sepsis Antimicrobial Treatment Antimicrobial Resistance Fungal Infection HIV and opportunistic infections Update on Pathogenesis and Management of Typhoid fever Khie Chen Division of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases Departement of Internal Medicine Medical Faculty Univesity of Indonesia Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital Jakarta Typhoid Fever Typhoid fever is an acute systemic infection caused by Salmonella enterica serotype typhi or paratyphi which is also known as Salmonella typhi 1

2 Epidemiologic Distribution of Typhoid Fever Some example of commonly Occuring Salmonella serotypes and groups Group A B C D Serotype S. paratyphi A S. paratyphi B S. stanley S. saintpaul S. agona S. typhimurium S. paratyphi C S. choleraesuis S. virchow S. thompson S. typhi S. enteritidis S. dublin S. gallinarium Pathogenesis Contaminated food of drinks Gastric acid Bowel lumen Mucosal defence Adhesion to mucose Colonization Invation to Peyer Patch Regional Lymphadenitis Thoracic duct 1 st systemic bacteriemia 2

3 Pathogenesis Infection of RE system Liver, Spleen 2 nd Bacteriemia Gall bladder Lung, Myocard Kidney, etc Feces Reinfection in bowel mucose Systemic manifestation Hyperplasia Peyer Patch Inflammation, erosion Bleeding, perforation Salmonella Pathogenesis First : ATTACHMENT Second : MUCOSAL INVASION Jade 28 Attachment Type 1 Fimbriae fim Long Polar Fimbriae lpf Plasmid-Encoded Fimbriae pef Thin Aggregative Fimbriae agf 3

4 fim, lpf, pef genes Type 1 fimbriae specifically bind -D-mannose receptors on various eucaryotic cell types LP fimbriae mediate adhesion to the cells of the Peyer's patches of the small intestine in a mouse model of infection S. typhimurium, S. enteritidis, S. choleraesuis, and S. paratyphi C, contain pef sequences. PE fimbriae can adhere to histological sections of murine small intestine more effectively Jade 28 Agf gene Thin aggregative fimbriae (3 to 4 nm wide) (curli) were identified and purified from S. enteritidis Curli-producing bacteria tend to autoaggregate, a phenomenon which has been suggested to enhance the survival of salmonellae facing hostile barriers such as stomach acid or other biocides they may encounter Mucosal Invation The mechanisms of Salmonella invasion, that is, the stimulation of nonphagocytic cells to internalize bacteria, are clearly complex. Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1), is believed to have been acquired by horizontal transfer from another pathogenic bacterial species during its evolution 4
