The Gauteng Department of Health on Tuesday confirmed two new additional cases of typhoid in the province. That brings to seven the number of reported cases‚ but the National Institute of Communicable of Diseases had on Sunday assured South Africans that there is not a typhoid outbreak in Johannesburg‚ and that the cases reported on at the weekend were unrelated.The health department said the new cases – a 38-year-old and a 27-year-old woman‚ both from Zimbabwe - were confirmed on Monday afternoon at the Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital in the Tshwane district.The 38-year-old “presented in the hospital last Thursday with four days’ history of fever”.“She was said to be quite confused on arrival in the hospital”‚ and it was initially suspected that she could be suffering from either cerebrospinal meningitis and/or cerebral malaria”.When the malaria tests came back negative‚ further blood tests were carried out on Saturday and typhoid fever was confirmed on Monday.The 27-year-old “presented to the Dr George Mukhari Hospital on Wednesday…two days after her illness started”.There was no fever‚ headache‚ vomiting nor diarrhoea‚ but blood tests carried out on the same day of her admission were “confirmed to be typhoid positive on Monday”.Both are currently on antibiotics.The health department added that “it is encouraging to inform that the two children currently on admission at the Edenvale District Hospital have since improved drastically‚ with temperature reading and other vitals remaining essentially normal”.It also said that a “16-year-old currently on admission at the Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital is also doing remarkably well and is said to be in a quite stable condition”...
