Typhoid Fever

Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. It is typically spread through contaminated food and water, particularly in areas with poor sanitation. The infection can lead to severe illness and can be life-threatening if not treated properly. Symptoms often include high fever, weakness, stomach pain, headache, and loss of appetite. In some cases, it may also cause a rash of flat, rose-colored spots.
