Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi. The infection spreads through contaminated food or water, and is more common in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene.
Symptoms of typhoid fever include fever, headache, weakness, stomach pain, diarrhea, and a rash. In severe cases, the infection can lead to dehydration, internal bleeding, and even death.
Typhoid fever is diagnosed through blood, urine, and stool tests, and treated with antibiotics. Prevention measures include ensuring proper sanitation and hygiene, drinking clean water, and avoiding raw or undercooked food.
While typhoid fever can be a serious and potentially fatal infection, early diagnosis and treatment can lead to a full recovery.
