    Journal: Voen Med Zh; 1993 Jan; (1):49-52. PubMed ID: 8484236.
    Abstract:
    The article analyses the 65 lethal cases by typhoid in the period 1980-1986 during an outbreak of infection among the servicemen of the 40-th Army. All the deceased had the age of 18-37, 79.8% of them were 18-20 years old. The most frequent complications were: myocarditis (84.6%), pneumonia (75.4%), hemorrhagic syndrome (50.8%), intestinal perforation (49.2%), intestinal ulcer hemorrhage (21.5%), pleuritis (20.0%), purulent complications (11.7%), endotoxic shock (12.3%). The structure of proximate causes of death was as following: perforative peritonitis (30.8%), pneumonia (20.0%), acute heart failure (13.8%), intestinal ulcer hemorrhage (12.3%), suprarenal hemorrhage (7.7%). The results obtained during this study prove the fact that this outbreak of epidemic infection had the features of classical typhoid.
