What is the complete treatment of typhoid?
Treatment of typhoid is complete, when the patient is no more the carrier of typhoid fever. It was a common problem in olden days when chloramphenicol was used to treat the typhoid fever. Chloramphenicol is a bacteriostatic drug. With the advent of bactericidal drugs, you have less number of carriers of typhoid fever. You have to do repeated culture of stool sample to rule out the carrier stage. Some times the typhoid bacteria is hidden in gall bladder and then you may have to remove the gall bladder. Such precautions are practically never taken in developing countries.

Can you be chronic typhoid carrier for 40 years?
Before 1980's you used to treat typhoid fever with Chloramphenicol antibiotic for 10 to 14 days. It is a 'bacteriostatic' antibiotic and there used to be many cases of chronic carrier. Few used to relapse and responded well to chloramphenicol again. Then there was emergence of chloramphenicol resistant typhoid fever. It was a serious threat to health system. Fortunately fluroqunoline group of antibacterials came to the rescue. And most cases can be managed with this antibacterial drug. This being 'bactericidal' drug you do-not have many carriers of typhoid fever. Another drug being ceftriaxone injections is also 'bactericidal' antibiotic. And you do-not have many cases of chronic carrier of typhoid fever. You treat the typhoid carriers with one of the 'bactericidal' drug. But, if you happen to find a person of typhoid fever for 40 years, please do not get surprised. As in biology this can easily happen. ( It is interesting to read the story of 'Typhoid Merry' from USA.)
What are the similarities of a tapeworm and malaria?
In both the diseases, fever may start with slow onset. Patients suffering from both of them complain of headache. Patients suffering from both will have mild spenomegaly at some stage of fever. ( Usually at the end of week.) Both fevers have leucopenia in peripheral smear. Fever will never rise above 104 degree Fahrenheit in typhoid fever. And patient of typhoid fever will get 'toxic' in about 7 days of fever. At 104 degree Fahrenheit temperature he will need assistance of two persons to go to toilet as against patient of malarial fever. Patient of malarial fever can walk to longer distance without assistance. The experienced doctor can tell from the face of the patient that he is suffering from typhoid fever or not.
How long does typhoid last?
I had typhoid fever 13 months ago and still haven't fully recovered. 2 months after the infection I had lots of trouble with my stomach still, with chronic diarrhea. But Doctor gave me antibiotics to clean up the intestine and I did a month of biotic reconstruction and supplemental nutrition (Ensure, 1xday), which worked. Immune system started to normalize after 8 months aprox. Before that, I caught one infection after the other and my Doc told me that it was probably due to typhoid after effects. Now I still have IBS, which I didn't have before getting sick. I recently started with homeopathic treatment which seems to make a little progress.
