Abstract:Typhoid carriers are demonstrated by growing typhoid bacilli from their excreta. In epidemiological investigations, however, this procedure applied to many persons is costly as well as time-consuming. So, in the course of time, several serological tests have been suggested for the demonstration of typhoid carriers. In some cases such serological tests give also a positive reaction in sera from normal persons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
