There is no need to prove the importance of recognizing typhoid diseases as early as possible. The most important method for meeting this need is blood culture. While it is almost impossible to make a diagnosis in the first days of the disease by other methods (Widals reaction and sowing stool), sowing blood with typhoid fever in the first 7 days, and with paratyphoid fever for the first time 3-4 days, gives almost 100% positive results.
