Typhoid is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi. It primarily spreads through contaminated food or water and is common in areas with poor sanitation. Symptoms of typhoid include prolonged fever, abdominal pain, weakness, headache, and sometimes rash. If left untreated, typhoid can lead to severe complications, including intestinal perforation. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through blood or stool tests, and treatment typically involves antibiotics. Prevention includes good hygiene practices, drinking clean water, and vaccination, especially for those traveling to regions where typhoid is common.
