I sincerely don't understand your fixation with this. Have you worked in a hospital before or are you just quoting off some textbook?

My job as a specialist is to fill out a form for blood culture, and note that i am trying to rule out Typhoid fever in my patient. A smart and resourceful medical microbiologist can figure out the rest.

Similarly if I suspect avascular necrosis of the left femoral neck secondary to some disease, my job is to request for an xray and trust that the radiologist will know what to do.

It is really that simple.
… and you fail to recognize your error. Doing a blood culture wouldn't pick up salmonella quick enough. Besides, the culture media which we use in this environment which is cooked meat or McConkey simply isn't specific for salmonella. You're better off with a urine or stool sample.
And yes I have been working in hospitals for close to 2 decades

Yesterday I want to general hospital to see a doctor, he recommended that I should run for test, because it was general hospital so I decided to go and do the test in private laboratory, the test lasted for an hour but going back to see the doctor, the hospital have closed, today being Tuesday I want to see the doctor but the nurses said he doesn't come on Tuesday and I'm seriously sick, doctors in the house please help me. Here is the test result



We don't treat lab reports, we treat patients. Contact me if you want for advice.

I am happy to learn that you have worked in a hospital for close to two decades. Which specialty are you in and most importantly, are you a doctor?

And while you are at it, blood culture is what I will strongly recommend for anyone with typhoid fever.

It's the season of hay fever.


It comes in different shades.
Cough, blocked nose etc one of them.

Since June, I've been down with itchy throat. I even lost my voice for 9 good days with mild fever.
Have never suffered from hay fever before so was shocked when everybody around me knows what's wrong with me except me.


You might be allergic to dust mites too.

Any small thing, typhoid and malaria.
Haba

What you have is flu, not typhoid. Take antibiotics for the cough, eg Azithromycin, etc. Take loratidine tabs. Pharmacist will advise you on dosage. Take a lot of water/fluid and fruits.
You will be well.
It's not flu.
It's hay fever.
The thing is this. We Nigerians think that hay fever don't affect us.
It does a lot.


It's the season.


It gives you a bit of flu, cold symptoms.

Fridge, fans, ac, etc harbours dustmites.

You are probably allergic to that.
So keep your fridge, ac, fan, surroundings, bedding clean always.

I spent hundreds of thousands of naira treating my child of persistent cough and what have you not knowing its allergy. Loads of histamine and asmathic medication. In fact, I angrily left Nigeria cos no hospital( went to the best so called children's hospital in my city. (Zankli) did the right thing. Zankli did allergy test but insisted its asthma and was pumping this boy asmathic meds and inhalers. I did my research.
When I left Nigeria and went to hospital once, all I have been saying were confirmed. Just allergic reaction to dustmites.
I almost lost another child on their incompetency.

Till date, all good. Can't remember when last any if my kids went to the hospital.

See them debating about blood culture and widal test up there.
