It is difficult to imagine a time when humans weren’t preoccupied with the mysteries of fever and its treatment. Efforts to probe the pathophysiology of the febrile response are evident as early as 2,500 years ago, when the Sumerians used a pictogram of a aming brazier to symbolize fever. This earliest known effort to conceptualize mechanisms responsible for fever evolved slowly through the humoral theory of the Hippocratic era, the demonic-possession explanation of the Middle Ages, the friction and fermentation theories of Renaissance iatrophysicists and iatrochemists, to the pyrogen-mediated schema we now accept as valid today.

The Widal test is one of the most utilized diagnostic tests for typhoid fever in developing countries. This test demonstrates the presence of somatic (O) and flagellar (H) agglutinins to Salmonella typhi in the patient’s serum using suspensions of O and H antigens. Antigens of S. paratyphi A, S. paratyphi B, S. paratyphi C are included in most commercial kits. The recommended method of performing the Widal test is by the tube agglutination technique where serial two-fold dilutions of the subject’s serum from 1:20 to 1:1280 are tested. In later years, a rapid slide test was developed which is now the most commonly used technique in local laboratories because of its convenience.1

May your child have circumcision, don’t worry, but before you take him to get circumcised, you better read this information. Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin that covers the tip of the penis. The functions of the foreskin include protecting the head of the penis and contributing to sexual sensations. Circumcision is typically done in the first few days after birth, since the risk of complications increases in older babies, boys and men. Circumcision is an elective surgical procedure, which means in many cases that it is done for cosmetic reasons. Ultimately, it is a matter of parental choice. Many male babies are circumcised because of religious tradition or hygiene concerns. Studies indicate that circumcision offers health benefits, although some researchers argue the benefits are too small to justify surgery.
