Signs and symptoms of typhoid fever

Lewisedwards17 Jun, 2022Health

Typhoid can be found throughout the world but it is more common in countries where water or food supplies are liable to be contaminated with human excreta especially in Africa, the Indian Sub-continent, South East Asia and South America. Consumption of food and drink that has been contaminated with faeces or urine from a human case or carrier; direct faecal oral contamination can also occur. As with all other illnesses spread by the faecal oral route, precautionary measures should be taken to avoid consumption of potentially contaminated drinks and drinking water and to ensure food is uncontaminated or cooked thoroughly.
