Typhoid Fever
Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella Typhi. It spreads through contaminated food and water, leading to high fever, weakness, stomach pain, and loss of appetite. Without treatment, typhoid fever can be fatal. It is diagnosed via blood tests and treated with antibiotics. Vaccination helps prevent typhoid fever.
