Abstract

Typhoid   fever is an acute systemic disease caused by salmonella typhi and is a serious problem in developing countries. Typhoid is known to affect all systems of our body. The effect of typhoid fever (enteric fever) were studied on basic haematological parameter of patient  WBC, RBC, SGOT, SGPT, Hb, Alkaline phosphates, Total bilirubin, platelets, PCV, Eosinophil, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes. The comprehensive study of 50 sample were collected from culturally confirmed salmonella patient and apparently healthy individuals were used as control. Results obtained show that there was a significant decreases in the PCV, Hb, WBC, Total protein, Platelets, and PCV in typhoid patients compared with healthy individuals. But there was a significant increase in SGOT and SGPT as against those of apparently healthy [control] individuals.
