What is Typhoid Fever?? Typhoid Fever is a gastrointestinal infection caused by Salmonella enterica typhi bacteria. It is transmitted from person to person through the fecal-oral route where an infected or asymptomatic individual (who does not exhibit symptoms) with poor hand or body hygiene passes the infection to another person when handling food and water. The bacteria multiply in the intestinal tract and can spread to the bloodstream. Paratyphoid fever, a similar illness, is caused by Salmonella enterica paratyphi A, B, and C. Symptoms Usually symptoms appear 1 to 3 weeks after exposure to the bacteria, symptoms include headache, lack of appetite, malaise, and an enlarged liver. Sometimes patients have diarrhea, constipation, or a rash on their trunk. Severe symptoms may appear 2 to 3 weeks after onset of the illness and may include intestinal hemorrhage or perforation. Fever continue to be carriers of the bacteria and can potentially infect others. Treatment includes antibiotics and supportive care of symptoms. Antibiotic resistance to S. typhii is increasing worldwide. Prevention Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly, and practice proper body hygiene. Drink purified water and only eat well cooked foods. Vaccination Qinghao and Reishi Capsules Order Now Call: 08069683429 Join whatsappgroup https:///lgjjVmBJ2GG1VS4OievsSd 1 Like
