Leucopenia and Thrombocytopenia in Typhoid Fever and a Case Report

Salmonellosis is a contagious infectious disease , the basis of diagnosis of which is the salmonella strain culture . It is an important diagnostic finding so that leucocytes counting more than 10.000/mm3 will provide strong presumptive evidence against such a diagnosis . Leucocyte count usually is not less than 2500/mm3 and severe leucopenia (less than 2000/mm3) is very rare . The case we report here is a 15-year-old girl with symptoms of typhoid fever and positive culture results of blood and stool , for whom leucopenia was reported to be very severe . WBC= 1700 , platelet=50.000 and widal (H)=1/1280 . B.M. was negative for malignancy . Special treatment for salmonellosis was effective so that the patient recovered and discharged with normal WBC .
