Haematological changes associated with Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi in humans

Abstract

The effect of typhoid’s/paratyphoid fevers (enteric fever) were studied on basic haematological parameters of patient, packed cell volume (PCV) hemoglobin estimation (Hb), reticulocytes count, and differential leucocytes count and white blood cell count(WBC) were carried out a comprehensive study of 200 sample were collected from culturally confirmed salmonella patients and apparently healthy individuals  were used as control. result obtained show that there was  a significant decrease in the PCV, Hb, and WBC and also lymphocytes with reticulocytes count was significantly higher  and a relatively higher in neutrophils as against those of apparently healthy control individuals, but there was a significant increase in monocytes and eosionophils,but there was no significant difference in basophiles count.
