Typhoid fever (also known as Enteric fever) is caused by a strain of "Salmonella" bacteria (Salmonellae typhi) when they are spread through the body by the white blood cells that attempted to destroy them. Salmonella are ingested from contaminated food or water and enter the body through the intestinal tract. Symptoms include general fever, headache, body ache, and fatigue. Increased heart rate can occur. Complications include infections, pneumonia, and intestinal bleeding.
An early treatment was the drug chloramphenicol, but today the treatment is with any of a number of antibiotics. After treatment, a small minority of infected persons become carriers of the disease.
