Overview

There is no established classification system for typhoid fever. Typhoid fever may be classified informally based on duration of illness, serologic type, severity of illness, and virulence factors.[1]

Classification

There is no established classification system for typhoid fever. However, typhoid fever may be classified informally as follows.[1]

Duration of illness

Acute disease [2][3][4]

  • Sudden-onset
  • Severe in nature
  • Lasts < 12 months
  • Mostly symptomatic

Chronic disease [2][3][4]

  • Lasts > 12 months
  • Less severe
  • Asymptomatic
  • Spread infection to others

Severity of illness

Mild disease[5][6]

Moderate to severe disease[7][6]

Virulence factors

High virulence factors[8][9][1]

  • PhoP/phoQ genes
  • CdtB protein
  • Vi antigen-positive strains

Low virulence factors[3][10][11]

  • Absence of above factors
  • Presence of following host factors
  • C282 mutation
  • CFTR mutation
