New Type of Typhoid in Pakistan Drugs Have Less Impact to Prevent

New Type of Typhoid

According to the latest research by Pakistani and foreign experts, a new type of typhoid found in Pakistan has shown that immune drugs have no impact, and experts emphasize the need for new strategy to overcome it.

According to researchers of Aagha Khan University and the University of Cambridge new antibiotics cannot affect this new type and it takes birth again.

This typhoid germ was discovered in the province of Sindh 14 months ago and has spread to many parts of the country and the UK.

Affected Sindh Province

According to researchers, this resistant typhoid in Sindh province of Pakistan has spread to the adjacent districts of Bacteria. Experts have expressed concern that it can spread throughout Pakistan as it is expensive and complicated.

The Typhoid Bacterial report has also been reported in Tando Allahyar, Badin and Jamshoro districts besides Hyderabad, provincial director General Health Dr. Mohammad Akram Khan told the BBC.

He said that Typhoid was reported for the first time in November 2016, and it affects three to five years of age.

Agha Khan University Research And WHO

He said that now with the help of Agha Khan University, he is trying to know the reasons and the University has provided 1.5 lakh vaccines. Apart from this, the Department of Health has also launched an awareness campaign and chlorine tablets are also being provided with the help of World Health Organization (WHO).

According to the University of Agha Khan, Latifabad and Qasimabad area of Hyderabad are the most infected with the typhoid germ, about 250,000 children have a new typical bar. TVC is being vaccinated to them.

This vaccine is the most effective solution to this kind of typhoid prevention, because of the increasing use of antibiotics medication, other existing medicines are becoming less effective in its treatment.

Dr. Statments:

Dr. Ghazala Sheikh, a children specialist at the government hospital in the affected Tehsil named Qasimabad, said that since May 2017 they notice the typhoid. These days, if they had ten patients a day, eight of them were suffering from fever feeds.

This series continued till November but now two patients are coming daily. The patients coming nowadays are between 3 years to 12 years and mostly belong to the lower middle class.

How We Came to Know About Bacteria?

Dr. Ghazala Sheikh says patients who have been given anti-biotech drugs in antique fever (typhoid fever) have been given the same but they did not have any effect even after passing four days. After 4 days the patients’ blood were tested and then we discovered this disease.

"The blood and culture test is expensive, so we also included Agha Khan Hospital Hyderabad. From these reports we found that the usual antibiotics are not affecting it."

Dr. Robina Hassan (Pathology Department) of Agha Khan University says that bacteria can change the DNA and, in turn, they make themselves safe from antibiotics and these medicines do not affect them.

Aga University research have proved that the cause of this bacteria is contaminated water. Dr. Romina Hassan says that typhoid bacteria get in the waste of the patient and mix with water, then If this water is used or used in other goods, the bacteria get in the human.

Director General Health Reveals

Director General Health, Dr. Mohammad Akhtar Khan, said that, there are no facilities available in Pakistan, which can identify germs in water, based on the possibilities, but ultimately it cannot be said that the germ has spread due to water.

Dr. Ghazala Shaikh says that if there are diseases related to typhoid, but there are other reasons, they have told parents that they should not use non-standard mineral water bottles and water should be boiled, keep cleaning and do not fed children from the market.

Remember that complaints on water quality provided for drinking in Hyderabad and surrounding areas are being investigated by court and the court decision is executed accordingly.

800 Cases Typhoid in Hyderabad Within Only 10 Months

According to Aga Khan University more than 800 cases Typhoid in Hyderabad within only 10 months of short period of 2016 and 2017 are a dangerous indication, Because during the five-year period of 2009 to 2014, just 6 such cases were reported across Pakistan.
