Infections from Salmonella enterica serotypes Typhi and Paratyphi, collectively known as enteric fever, present a complex clinical challenge for clinicians worldwide. This activity offers a comprehensive overview of these infections, covering epidemiology, pathophysiology, treatment, complications, patient education, and preventive measures. With symptoms often presenting subtly, clinicians must grasp the nuances of typhoid and paratyphoid fever, recognizing signs such as fever, fatigue, anorexia, headache, malaise, and abdominal discomfort. Moreover, the evolving landscape of antimicrobial-resistant strains, including extensively drug-resistant variants, underscores the need for clinicians to stay updated on the best treatment approaches.Through this course, clinicians learn the pivotal role of the interprofessional healthcare team in addressing enteric fever. Collaboration among clinicians, public health experts, and other healthcare professionals enhances patient care by leveraging a multidisciplinary approach. By working collaboratively, clinicians can optimize patient outcomes, especially in low- and middle-income countries where enteric fevers pose significant public health challenges.
