Abdominal Swelling
Abdominal swelling can become severe in typhoid cases. The infection affects the gastrointestinal tract, and the spleen may become enlarged. Abdominal distension becomes more severe as the disease progresses.
Infections of this nature may also cause perforations of the organs that can lead to further infections and bacterial buildup, which requires treatment in the hospital. Untreated typhoid fever may also lead to intestinal bleeding. Organ perforation and bleeding are the most common complications of untreated typhoid.8‘Typhoid Fever - Complications.’ Nhs.uk, 20 2018, www.nhs.uk/conditions/typhoid-fever/complications/
