Typhoid is a bacterial infection that can lead to a high fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. It can be fatal. It is caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi.
The infection is often passed on through contaminated food and drinking water, and it is more prevalent in places where handwashing is less frequent. It can also be passed on by carriers who do not know they carry the bacteria.
Typhoid is a common bacterial infection in countries with low incomes.
Untreated, it is fatal in around 25 percent of cases.
Symptoms include a high fever and gastrointestinal problems.
Some people carry the bacteria without developing symptoms
Most cases reported in the United States are contracted overseas
The only treatment for typhoid is antibiotics
Symptoms normally begin between 6 and 30 days after exposure to the bacteria.
The two major symptoms of typhoid are fever and rash. Typhoid fever is particularly high, gradually increasing over several days up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, or 39 to 40 degrees Celsius.
The rash, which does not affect every patient, consists of rose-colored spots, particularly on the neck and abdomen.
Other symptoms can include:
weakness
abdominal pain
constipation
headaches
