Abstract

Typhoid fever is a systemic illness caused by infection with the Gram negative bacterium Salmonella enterica sub-species 1 serovar Typhi (S. typhi). Patients with typhoid fever can be broadly divided into two groups, those with ‘mild’ disease (uncomplicated typhoid fever) and those with complications. The signs and symptoms of uncomplicated typhoid fever are relatively nonspecific, and their reported frequency is highly variable. The classic symptoms are pyrexia, headache and abdominal pain or discomfort. Fever rises in a step-wise manner during the first week of illness and can be as high as 40°C1,2 The disease is self-limiting in most patients and resolves within 4–5 weeks in the absence of chemotherapy1 Patients given a course of an appropriate antibiotic can recover within a week although weakness and debilitation may persist for several months.3,4
