10. Typhoid Fever
In most cases, salmonella infections will only cause relatively mild symptoms and most people will make a full recovery in a few days or so. The symptoms can be worse and last for longer in some cases, but still, the patient will usually recover. It can be fatal in a very small number of cases.
Salmonella infections can also spread to other parts of the body, resulting in a disease known as typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is very dangerous indeed and around 1 in 5 people that don’t receive treatment for it will die from the disease. Treatment is available, however, and fatalities from typhoid fever in developed countries are now very rare.
