<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Typhoid is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi<\/em>, a bacterium. It is typically characterised by high fever, nausea, vomiting, and, in some cases, diarrhoea. The disease is primarily transmitted through the consumption of food or water contaminated with faecal matter, making it more common in areas with inadequate sanitation and limited access to clean drinking water. If left untreated, typhoid can be fatal. However, with timely diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment, most individuals make a full recovery. Improving hygiene and sanitation practices is key to preventing the spread of this potentially life-threatening illness..\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
