Delirium and Typhoid State
Typhoid state happens when the patient is delirious, and it occurs when the patient takes too long to seek medical attention. It's a sign of late, untreated illness. Constant muttering and seemingly out of touch with their surroundings are common signs of delirium.5Verghese, A. ‘The typhoid State Revisited.’ PubMed, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3898837/#
The condition generally improves once the patient manages the infection, usually with a course of antibiotics. Support may also include IV fluids with electrolytes. The delirious state typically improves after the proper treatment is started.
