Typhoid fever

Typhus is a potentially lethal infectious disease that is transmitted orally by the bacterium Salmonella tyhpi. & Nbsp; The disease is found in areas with limited access to treated drinking water. Most of them are developing countries in Asia, Africa or South America. In western countries, there are only isolated cases that are imported from epidemic regions. For example, the estimated incidence in Europe is about 1 / 30,000 people per year. & Nbsp;

About 1-7 days after ingestion of the bacteria symptoms appear. These include high fever, chills, constipation, diarrhea, headache, stomach pain, discomfort, hepatosplenomegaly, and rash with flat, pink spots on the chest. & Nbsp;

The symptoms persist for about two weeks. Death causes bleeding in about 1-2% of those affected by intestinal detachment. Other serious complications that can lead to death include pneumonia, intestinal bleeding and perforation. Normally the disease only lasts badly in the absence of treatment. Treated sufferers die very rarely and recover after about 5-7 days. & Nbsp;

The bacterium Salmonella enterica is the cause of typhoid fever. There are several serotypes, with S. typhi being the most prevalent. The bacteria are transferred orally-orally when food or water is contaminated with the feces of infected persons. & Nbsp;
The bloodstream affects the bone marrow, liver and gall bladder. & Nbsp;

Other serious complications that can lead to death include pneumonia, intestinal bleeding and perforation. Normally, the disease is fatal only in the absence of treatment.
