Rash
Rash appears in some patients that present with typhoid fever. The rose-colored spots suggest that the patient has a salmonella-based infection and are sometimes referred to as salmonella spots. However, lab tests confirm the diagnosis.
Sometimes, the rash just appears as spots, and in severe cases, may present as skin lesions. The rash goes away after a course of medication management. Patients are encouraged to follow health protocols, as they may be chronic typhoid carriers, even when the rash clears.7Bhandari, Jenish, et al. ‘Typhoid Fever - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf.’ National Center for Biotechnology Information, 23 Nov. 2020, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557513/
