What is Typhoid Fever: Causes and Prevention about?
Salmonella enterica serotype typhi causes typhoid fever, a potentially life-threatening illness transmitted through contaminated food or water. The bacteria invade the small intestine, liver, spleen, and bloodstream. Globally, typhoid results in 11-18 million cases and 128,000-190,000 deaths annually. Children under 2 are most at risk of severe typhoid. Vaccines and proper sanitation are effective prevention methods. Antibiotics treat the infection but drug-resistant strains have emerged.
