Constipation
Gastrointestinal discomfort is a common symptom of typhoid fever. However, constipation is not and may leave medical professionals confused as to the diagnosis. The severity of the pain can cause doctors to test for other abdominal issues.2‘Typhoid Fever with Acute Abdominal Pain Masquerading As Surgical Emergency, Mehndiratta S - Int J Adv Med Health Res.’ International Journal of Advanced Medical and Health Research, 1 Jan. 2016, www.ijamhrjournal.org/article.asp?issn=2349-4220;year=2016;volume=3;issue=1;spage=31;epage=33;aulast=Mehndiratta
Blood or stool samples are needed to confirm the typhoid diagnosis. The test looks for the bacteria associated with the disease. Early detection is important to ensure the bowels clear out and to avoid further complications. Diarrhea can also be associated with typhoid.
