Patients with intestinal perforation or hemorrhage may need surgery if the infection cannot be controlled by antibiotics.
Paratyphoid fever has three stages: an early stage marked by high fever; a toxic stage with abdominal pain and intestinal symptoms, and a long period of recovery from fever (defervescence).
an early stage marked by high fever
Most patients with paratyphoid fever recover completely, although intestinal complications can result in death. With early treatment, the mortality rate is less than 1%.
Travelers in countries with high rates of paratyphoid fever should be careful to wash hands before eating and to avoid meat, egg, or poultry dishes unless they have been thoroughly cooked.

Salmonella Paratyphi A is a serotype of the Salmonella bacteria that causes paratyphoid fever, a serious illness characterized by fever, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is primarily transmitted through contaminated food and water. Unlike its more well-known cousin, Salmonella Typhi, which causes typhoid fever, Salmonella Paratyphi A typically has a milder illness course but can still lead to severe complications if untreated. Vaccines are available for typhoid fever, but there is no specific vaccine for paratyphoid fever.
If you get a cold with a low grade fever within two days of your scheduled surgery, call your nurse. The doctor will assess your situation and decide if the surgery will be rescheduled or not.
