Yes, because you don't feel well and thus any disturbance such as a bright light or a loud noise will irritate you. I came down with typhoid fever after returning from a trip abroad.

She came from Scotland and like most of such ladies joined the job of housekeeping. Mary joined the job of cooking, because that was better paid job. She was one of the asymptomatic carrier of typhoid and she did not remembered to be ill with typhoid.
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.)
Most probably Mary Mallon had typhoid before she came to America. She probably brought the typhoid from Ireland. She was one of the many asymptomatic carriers of typhoid.
Scarlet Fever is named such because of it's most visible symptom, a distinctive red rash which begins on the neck and chest, then spreads to other areas on the body. Although other symptoms, such as fever, sore throat, and swollen tongues, also accompany the infection, the rash is the most noticeable.
a fever called the yellow fever came.
it came and went because of the winter. The winter came, and it froze and killed all of the virus that was in the air. I have read that book to, and I was great!
When the first frost came, the fever went away because the mosquitoes carrying the disease died.
The type of flower that hay fever came from are pollinated flowers. Pollen can also be found in trees, grass and weeds.
Yellow fever is due to flavivirus, and though there are treatments, there is no cure for it. There is however a vaccine, which was invented by Max Theiler for which he won the nobel prize in medicine.
