  • Title: Typhoid fever in a young immigrant child: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Elias AF, Peterson SN, Huntington MK.
    Journal: S D Med; 2008 Jul; 61(7):255-8. PubMed ID: 18717293.
    Abstract:
    Typhoid fever is a systemic disease not endemic to South Dakota. We report a case of a young child, living in South Dakota since immigrating with his family as a refugee, who developed typhoid fever. Contact investigation failed to identify a source, suggesting that the infection was acquired abroad. The clinical presentation of typhoid is discussed, and the literature relevant to diagnosis, treatment and prevention is reviewed.
