- The sensitivities of whole blood and clot cultures were compared in 155 patients with typhoid or paratyphoid fever. Salmonella typhi or S. paratyphi A were isolated from 98·7% of 5 ml 1:10 blood:broth ratio blood cultures and 94·8% of 5 ml streptokinase clot cultures ( P > 0·05). There was no difference in the speed of isolation. Whole blood culture and clot culture were of nearly equal sensitivity in this group of patients.
