Treatment of typhoid fever with barium chloride
Typhoid fever, according to the duration of its course and the possibility of complications and a number of surprises, belongs to the category of those diseases where the doctor at the bedside is in the same position as those around him - from the moment of setting the diagnosis he cannot, even approximately, say anything about the duration of the disease itself or about the nature of its course, and all his struggle with typhoid is limited to symptomatic therapy. For this reason the efforts of the medical world have long been directed toward finding a specific treatment for the disease. Sero- and vaccine therapy of typhoid fever, however, has not yet given tangible practical results, because, although some authors point to shortening the duration of the disease and lowering the mortality rate, I think that other factors may play a role here, such as the nature of the typhoid epidemic, the degree of hospitalization of patients, etc. Leaving aside the issue of sero- and vaccine therapy, as it is not within our scope, I would like to touch only the drug treatment of typhoid fever. Here, too, the situation is very sad.
