A case of laboratory-acquired Salmonella Typhi infection due to phage typing in Japan: whole-genome sequencing confirms the source of infection

2026-01-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction: </h4> Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, is a systemic infection. Approximately 40 cases occur annually in Japan, most of which are imported. In August 2023, a researcher engaged in phage typing of S. Typhi was diagnosed with typhoid fever. Case Presentation A 48-year-old man presented with high fever, diarrhea, malaise, and loss of appetite. Initial findings, including...
