What Is Typhus Fever?
6. Other Complications
Other potentially severe conditions include pneumonia, and some patients will also experience septic shock. Meningitis is also a possibility, which is the inflammation of the tissue that help protect the brain and spinal cord. Bladder and/or kidney infections will also occur in some people, and some will also develop pancreatitis, which is the inflammation of the pancreas.
Another potential symptom is endocarditis, which is the inflammation of the heart’s lining. Myocarditis is another possibility, which is the inflammation of the heart’s muscle tissues. Patients can also experience paranoid psychosis and hallucinations. These conditions are potentially very dangerous and they will need to be treated as immediate medical emergencies.
