Overview of typhoid disease and its symptoms
Tipes is a contagious infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. These bacteria usually live in water contaminated with feces and can stick to food or drinks that you consume due to snacks at random.
In general, you will be more susceptible to types whenconsume food contaminated with S. typhi bacteria and the immune system is weak. But small children have a slightly higher risk than adults for typhoid pain because of ittheir body power is not as strong as adults. Apart from food or drinks that have been contaminated with the bacteria S. typhi, this disease can also be caused by direct contact with people who have been infected and poor sanitation.

Complications of typhoid pain can cause a hollow intestine that can lead to death
Complications that can arise from typhoid infections are problems with the lungs or heart. Based on research published in the Veonno Meditsinkii Journal, other complications that can arise from typhoid disease that are not immediately treated are pneumonia, pleurisy, myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), and acute heart failure.
Pain of typhoid that is not immediately treated can also cause inflammation of the pancreas, bleeding infection in the bones or joints, urinary tract infections, meningitis, even psychiatric problems such as hallucinations and paranoid psychosis. Although this complication is less common, medical treatment must still be done as soon as possible if symptoms of typhus begin to appear.
When typhoid symptoms are severe and more serious, the intestine can bleed and become hollow. In the medical world, this condition is referred to as intestinal perforation. Intestinal perforation can cause intestinal contents to leak into the abdominal cavity and cause infection. if the abdominal cavity is infected, it will cause peritonitis, an infection of the tissue that lines the inside of the stomach. This infection can cause various organs to stop functioning. This condition includes medical emergencies and can be life threatening. That is why people who experience typhoid complications need to get immediate medical treatment.
