Daniel Rosen, HMS III Gillian Lieberman, MD August 2014 Distinctive Radiological Imaging of Salmonella Typhi Infection Daniel Rosen, Harvard Medical School Year III Gillian Lieberman, MD Daniel Rosen, HMS III Gillian Lieberman, MD Outline Background Epidemiology Case Presentation Abdominal US Results Abdominal CT Results Abdominal X-Ray Results Pathophysiology Complications and Treatment Key Points and Roundup Daniel Rosen, HMS III Gillian Lieberman, MD 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 http://salmonellatyphi.org/salmonella_typhi_3.jpg Risk of Sepsis The bacterium can hide in the biliary tract and turn the host into a “chronic carrier” Daniel Rosen, HMS III Gillian Lieberman, MD Epidemiology of Salmonella Typhi Primarily located in Southern Hemisphere, Particularly Latin America and India, as well as Africa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoid_fever#mediaviewer/File:Fievre_typhoide.png Daniel Rosen, HMS III Gillian Lieberman, MD Patient Case Presentation Previously healthy 32 y/o woman presenting with diffuse abdominal pain, fever Recent Travel History: just returned yesterday from Haiti No Nausea/Vomiting, Diarrhea, Chest Pain Elevated Transaminases, Leukocytosis, Pain closer to RUQ So which imaging modality should we choose?

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.

But, based on radiological imaging alone cannot rule out Lymphoma! Follow up CT (weeks later) necessary.

Fat Stranding Axial C+ CT demonstrating fat stranding PACS BIDMC Daniel Rosen, HMS III Gillian Lieberman, MD Our Patient CT: Fat Stranding (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.

This supports the finding that terminal ileitis is a localized process that will therefore demonstrate localized radiological findings.
