what are the causes of anemia in typhoid fever ?

Answer 1

Bone marrow does not depress, or else you die. One cause of anemia in typhoid fever is the infection itself. Salmonella typhi has the capability of intracellular division inside our cells, making them "invisible" to our immune system. Once invisible, it can practically go ANYWHERE in our body via the bloodstream...one stop is our lymph nodes, where leukocytes and lymphocytes join and essentially "present" antigens they have gathered throughout our body. The intracellular growth of S. typhi in our cells usually needs iron to sustain their growth; and where else can they get it from if not from our red blood cells (since rbc's have iron as the central metal ion chelated by 4 heme groups). Low iron in the blood means low rbc count, resulting in anemia. Also implicated is the possibility of rbc depression due to bloody diarrhea, since hemorrhage can occur in typhoid fever, most likely in the intestinal lining where most S. typhi infection starts (gastrointestinal tract).

These are only some of the causes, and these need not be the main ones...although poor diet alone minus the typhoid fever cannot cause anemia, unless of course the person is anemic in nature or his/her diet does not constitute a balanced iron diet.

Hope this helps!

Typhoid Ileitis

Answer 3

Sickle cellular anemia incidence maps are precisely comparable to maps that coach the geography of malaria. (they're congruent), The ailment isn't latest in non-malaria factors excewpt for immigrants that initially got here from this way of region (or an ancestor).The service state ( it incredibly is those with purely one sickle cellular gene) confers some immunity to human beings against the malaria parasite. (Plasmodium spp). Their cellular membranes are slightly diverse than prevalent ones yet remains clever.the version makes it extra durable for the parasite to get in.The infortunate offspring, of two service parebts, that get 2 sickle cellular anemia genes have a terrible ailment. With crimson blood cells assuming a sickle shape that gets caught in the capillary vessels of the blood gadget, which motives soreness and is not any longer stable at sporting oxygen to the physique's cells. It would not help with typhoid fever in any respect. yet at present the cystic fibrosis gene has been discovered to confer some immunity to the typhoid bacillus, if the guy has purely one c.f. gene. (i.e he/she is a service). Having 2 copies of the gene ends up in an entire blown case of c.f. with its non-clever chloride ion receptors in the cells outer membrane. extreme fever is a mechanism to stop virus multiplication in the physique and is extremely powerful in suppressing bacterial growth. between the area consequences of the immune chemical tumor necrosis ingredient is to strengthen a fever and to reason fatigue. Very extreme fevers, brought about via bacterial infections, have at times, brought about remission in some maximum cancers situations. it form of feels that the extreme fever awoke the immune gadget to the main cancers cells. rfile.
