Typhoid fever

Typhoid fever is a systemic, potentially life-threatening bacteremic infection caused by the bacterium *Salmonella enterica* serotype Typhi It is clinically characterized by an insidious onset of prolonged, sustained high fever, headache, malaise, abdominal pain, hepatosplenomegaly, and altered bowel habits, occasionally accompanied by transient maculopapular rose spots

Transmitted via the fecal-oral route through contaminated food or water, the organism invades the intestinal mucosa and disseminates through the reticuloendothelial system to affect multiple organ systems, predominantly impacting populations in resource-limited regions with inadequate sanitation or travelers returning from endemic areas
