Metronidazole (Flagyl) Pharmacology - Mechanism of Action - Amebiasis Treatment

Is metronidazole given in typhoid fever for diarrhea?

[@MKMediGuideLectures]

No Dear, There is no indication of METRONIDAZOLE in Micromedex or lexicomp for typhoid fever. Typoid fever is caused by Salmonella typhi. Which is a gram negative microorganism. While MTDZ have action against protozaons and anaerobic bacteria. So, specifically it is not used for typhoid fever. It can be used empirically, if there is a concomitant possible infection with anerobes or protozoans. But when specialist in infectious diseases recommends after observing the patient. Otherwise, not recommended in Typhoid fever Thank you 🙂

For this, Other ABX with action against Salmonella typhi are used like Floroquinolones mostly and other like 3rd generation cephalosporins.
