BSTRACT
Typhoid fever continues to be a major public health problem in developing countries especially due to the challenging infrastructure and sanitation facilities. Many cases of abortions due to untreated Salmonella infection have been reported. The present report is about a 25-year-old female who was inadequately treated for typhoid fever with suboptimal doses of oral ampicillin leading to inevitable abortion despite the infection being cleared from blood. Salmonella typhi was isolated from products of conception. The patient was treated with Ceftriaxone injections and has been found to be fine on follow-up visits. Typhoid during pregnancy needs to be treated with higher doses and preferably intravenous antibiotics instead of oral due to the increased volume of distribution and reduced tissue penetration of antibiotics in such patients. |
