Gbam!
It takes proper planning too. I for one wouldn't mind a fellow medico (infact eehhhhnnnn lipsrsealed wink ) but there would be plans. Somebody might need to go the for the less time-consuming ones in the end. Once there is love, logic flies out of the window and you just find a way around it. smiley smiley

Gold standard for diagnosis of typhoid fever is culture of isolated organism. Culture is 100% specific. Blood culture, stool culture, culture of bone marrow aspirate.

Widal test is not specific or sensitive for typhoid fever. Bless cool cool

Yes, that's the standard, but as a doctor with a side-lab, who needs results in hours, widal will suffice,,,,, before the real culture tests pop in!!!

it's just like the rapid diagnostic kit for malaria, which gives results in. hours, but the gold standard is the peripheral blood film........

Management of typhoid fever can be medical and/or surgical.

Medical management include :

1 )proper fluid and electrolyte monitoring and replacement
2) pharmacologic therapy (broad spectrum antibiotics) prior to isolation of offending organism (S.typhi in this case)
3) patient should be advised on proper hygiene, proper hand washing before eating, proper waste and faeces disposal

Surgical management comes in when complications of typhoid fever arise. A good example is intestinal perforation. In cases of multiple small intestinal perforation secondary to typhoid fever, small bowel resection is indicated.

Bacteria is divided into Gram positive and Gram negative based on their ability to trap crystal violet .

Gram positive stains purple/blue. Gram negative stains pink/red.

What underlies the principle of Gram staining?

Gram positive bacteria has many layers of peptidoglycan in its cell wall. Gram negative bacteria has only one layer of peptidoglycan in its cell wall.
Make your smear. Fix your smear with 95% methanol, it dries. Then you flood with crystal violet...both Gram positive and Gram negative absorbs the crystal violet.
Then flood with iodine. Wash off. And 'decolourise' with 95% alcohol. Finally , a red dye called sufranin is used to stain the smear.

Gram positive bacteria has more peptidoglycan than lipid in its cell wall. So it will trap the crystal violet. And will not be decolourised by alcohol. It will retain the original purple/blue colour of crystal violet. Hence, the purple/blue colour.

Gram negative bacteria has more lipid than peptidoglycan in its wall. So alcohol will wash off the outer layer of the bacterial cell wall...thus decolourising the crystal violet. . Gram negative bacteria can now pick up the red colour of sufranin dye. Hence, red/pink.
