Abstract :
Typhoid fever is primarily found in
impoverished countries with inadequate sanitation on a
global scale. In the United States, the incidence of typhoid
fever has been steadily decreasing since 1900 due to
improvements in sanitation and effective antibiotic
treatments. While typhoid fever is widespread, 80% of
cases occur in the Americas, the Caribbean, Oceania,
Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, and Nepal.
Each year, approximately 200,000 individuals succumb to
typhoid fever, and 21.6 million people are infected with
the disease. When treated, the chance of death is 0.2% and
there are rarely long-term symptoms. Untreated typhoid
fever can lead to fatality and persist for multiple weeks.
Lasting complications may involve central nervous
system damage. 54 percent of reported typhoid fever cases
in the United States between 1999 and 2006 included. One
can receive fluids and electrolytes via a vein. For the
treatment of typhoid fever, the patient can receive an
antibiotic and, in rare circumstances, steroid medications.
When prescribed antibiotics, most patients start feeling
better after two days, and fatalities are rare. Typhoid
cases are generally treated with specific antibiotics such
ciprofloxacin, ampicillin, or chloramphenicol. Important
public health measures include proper water purification,
proper waste disposal, and safeguarding the food supply
from contamination. Typhoid carriers should not be
permitted to handle food in any capacity. If treatment is
not received, patients may have a fever for weeks or
months, and up to 20% of them may pass away from
infection-related problems. The hospital setting is where
those with infections are treated.
