Typhoid patients treated early in the disease with chloromycetin (or chloramphenicol) do not produce, in most cases, normal antibodies to S. typhosa. Such patients may show complete absence of antibodies to this organism as may be demonstrated by the Widal agglutination reaction. The relapse rate of these patients is high and the carrier rate is not improved by the treatment with this antibiotic. However, if vaccine is given, normal antibodies develop to a high titer.
