What are the possible complications?

About 1 in 10 people with typhoid or paratyphoid infections have complications. These can occur at any
time while you have the infection, even if you have a mild infection.

The two most common complications are bleeding from, and rupture of, the bowel. These occur in
about 2 in 100 cases. These may be life-threatening and may require a surgical operation.
Infection of the heart muscle (toxic myocarditis) occurs in up to 1 in 20 cases. It is a significant cause of
death in areas where typhoid and paratyphoid are commonly found.

Infection of the nervous system can cause severe confusion, epileptic seizures and mental health
disturbances.

Liver and gallbladder infection may cause jaundice (yellowing of the skin) and severe abdominal pain.

Pancreatitis (pancreas infection) is very rare. This can cause severe pain in the stomach or back, and
indigestion.

Kidney failure (in which the kidneys no longer clear toxins from the blood) is also uncommon.

Note: if you have any new symptoms, or feel worse while you are being treated for typhoid, you should
contact your doctor as soon as possible.

LATER PRECAUTION:

1) No Desi Tadka or outside food

2) Vaccination and immunity booster
3) Liver tonic to avoid juandice
4) Yakult every day
5) Homeopathy immunity treatment
6) Find out source of disease: water/food sources, bathroom/kitched sanitation

What is the prognosis (outlook)?

Without antibiotics, about 1 in 5 people will die from a typhoid infection.

With treatment with antibiotics, most people make a full recovery but about 1 in 10 people have a
recurrence of the illness (relapse). This usually happens a week after stopping the antibiotic but it
can be much later. Another course of antibiotics will usually work if you have a relapse.
