Background

Salmonella Typhi (Now actually S. Enterica serotype Typhi)
is a Gram Negative Rod which causes Typhoid Fever

Fecal-oral transmission, usually food borne

Febrile illness following ingestion

Chills

Intestinal Bleeding

Lymphoid Hyperplasia in Peyer’s Patches


Risk of Sepsis

The bacterium can hide in the biliary tract and turn the host into a “chronic
carrier”
Daniel Rosen, HMS III

Epidemiology of Salmonella Typhi
Primarily located in Southern
Hemisphere, Particularly Latin America
and India, as well as Africa

fever

Recent Travel History: just returned yesterday from Haiti



So which imaging modality should we choose?

Abdominal Ultrasound – Why it’s a 9



Major Advantages:

Cheap

No Radiation

No Contrast Necessary
Disadvantages

Less Resolution than CT

User Dependent

Hard to obtain images in obese patients
Preparation
NPO except water for 6-8 hours prior to exam.

Case Presentation—Following Normal US

Previously healthy 32 y/o woman presenting with diffuse abdominal pain,
fever, returning from Haiti

Worsening clinical sepsis following normal abdominal US

Blood cultures have been drawn, and are pending

What is our next imaging modality?

Abdominal CT With Contrast– Why it’s an 8



Major Advantages:

Multiple slices: no shadowing

Exam is quick: takes only minutes to perform

Better differentiation between soft tissue densities than radiographs

Contrast allows contour of lumen to be clearly outlined
Disadvantages:

Contrast contraindicated in renal failure patients

Many soft tissues are similar radiodensity and indistinguishable
Preparation:

NPO for 3 hours prior to exam

Why Terminal Ileitis?
Connecting Radiology and Histology

Terminal Ileum contains Peyer’s Patches, which have M cells which sample antigens
from lumen and present them to B and T cells.

These APC’s can then travel to a nearby lymph node as well.

Our Patient CT:
Lymphadenopathy

Local lymphadenopathy,
most likely generated
from adjacent
inflammation and
transport of Antigen
Presenting Cells to lymph
node and proliferation of
germinal centers.

But, based on
radiological imaging
alone cannot rule out
Lymphoma!

Follow up CT (weeks
later) necessary.

Causes of Terminal Ileitis—Building a
Differential

Crohn’s

Infectious


TB

Salmonella (including Salmonella Typhi)

Yersinia
Lymphoma (masquerading)

Follow up CT necessary
Our Patient Abdominal CT Additional
Findings: Portal Edema

Daniel Rosen, HMS III
Gillian Lieberman, MD
Connecting Pathophysiology and
Radiological Findings

Notable Portal Edema

Due to extravasation of fluid in a patient
with SIRS—Systemic Inflammatory Response
Syndrome (due to sepsis in this patient)

On imaging, edema appears as a thickened
portal vasculature wall

Our Patient CT: Focal InflammationFat Stranding

Focal Inflammation of
terminal ileum causes local
cytokine activation and
extravasation of radiodense
fluid, which infiltrates
surrounding fat, leading to
appearance of “stranding”
and density closer to that of
soft tissue (fluid) vs. fat.

(Magnified)
In comparison, the area adjacent
to the inflamed small bowel
shows notable fat stranding
compared to the benign fat on
the other side of the abdomen.

Follow up and Corollary: Our Patient
Abdominal Radiograph

Localized air distension noted only
on lower right side of radiograph,
consistent with findings on CT scan.

This supports the finding that
terminal ileitis is a localized process
that will therefore demonstrate
localized radiological findings.

Isolated terminal Ileitis can be caused by:

Salmonella Typhi

Grown in Blood Cultures

Patient responded well to antibiotics

Follow up abdominal CT scheduled two months after discharge to rule
out lymphoma

Key Points and Roundup:



Isolated terminal Ileitis identified on Abdominal CT can be caused by:

Crohn’s

TB

Yersinia

Lymphoma (masquerading)

Salmonella Typhi
Salmonella Typhi manifests by:

Sepsis: fluid extravasation

Terminal Ileitis

Lymphadenopathy
Radiological findings are predicated on and intertwined with Anatomy,
Histology, and Pathophysiology
