Shigellosis differential diagnosis

Suggested Alternatives for Differential Diagnosis Enterobacter infections, enterococcal infections, klebsiella infections, proteus infections, providencia infections, Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, serratia, shigellosis, and streptococcus group B infections. [Pg.507]

Suggested Alternatives for Differential Diagnosis Campylobacteriosis, cryptosporidiosis, cyclosporiasis, E. coli infections, Listeria monocytogenes, shigellosis, Vibrio infections, yersiniosis, ingestion of bacterial toxins such as staphylococcal enterotoxins or botulinum toxin. [Pg.516]

Suggested Alternatives for Differential Diagnosis Malaria, typhoid fever, shigellosis, meningococcemia, salmonella infection, other tick-borne diseases, rickettsial infections, leukemia, lupus, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hemolytic uremic syndrome, leptospirosis, thrombocytopenic purpura, and idiopathic or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. [Pg.540]

The differential diagnosis in most areas of the world has malaria at the top of the list. However, the presence of parasitemia in patients partially immune to malaria does not prove that malaria is the cause of the symptoms (48). Other confounding infections include typhoid fever, rickettsial and leptospiral diseases, nontyphoidal salmonellosis, shigellosis, relapsing fever, fulminant hepatitis, and meningococ-cemia. In patients with DIG, the differential diagnosis includes acute leukemia, lupus erythematosus, idiopathic or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome (48). [Pg.97]
