What Is Typhoid Fever?
3. Typhoid Fever Complications
An individual with an advanced stage of typhoid fever can develop complications. Within three weeks of developing symptoms, perforations can develop in the intestines, causing the contents in the small intestines or bowels leak and leading to sepsis. This condition is extremely serious and requires immediate medical assistance.
There are other possible complications that are experienced less frequently but are often no less serious. These include pneumonia, heart inflammations, meningitis and pancreatitis. Paranoid psychosis, delirium and hallucinations are also possible.
