摘要
Background: Our aim is analyze the epidemiological factors of enteric fever in Madrid (Spain) over the last 30 years. Material and methods: A retrospective review was conducted on cases of typhoid and paratyphoid fever studied in the Fundacion Jimenez Diaz (Madrid) between 1980 and 2010. Two similar periods in time were studied (P1:1980-1993; P2:1994-2010). Results: There was a total of 61 confirmed cases of enteric fever: 51 (84%) were typhoid and 10 were paratyphoid: 45 patients were native Spanish (40 belonging to P1) and 16 were immigrants (15 in P2, with 11 of them coming from the Indian sub-continent). Conclusion: Enteric fever must be present in the differential diagnosis of persistent fever without clear focus in immigrants, mainly from the Indian subcontinent, and travelers from endemic areas.(C) 2012 Elsevier Espafia, S.L.
