What Is Salmonella?
4. Typhoid Fever
A strain of salmonella known as salmonella typhi can also cause typhoid fever. The infection shares some common symptoms with salmonellosis, but typhoid fever tends to be more dangerous. It can be fatal if treatment is not sought, so it should always be treated as a serious condition.
Symptoms of typhoid fever typically include headaches, fever, aches and pains, and lethargy. The patient will also likely lose their appetite, and they are also likely to have diarrhea. Some people with typhoid fever will retain the bacteria and remain a carrier of the disease for the rest of their lives.
