how serios is typhoid?

Typhoid fever is an infectious feverish disease with severe symptoms in the digestive system in the second phase of the illness. \n\nClassic typhoid fever is a serious disease. It can be life-threatening, but antibiotics are an effective treatment. The disease lasts several weeks and convalescence takes some time. \n\nThe disease is transmitted from human to human via food or drinking water, and it is therefore mainly hygiene and sanitary conditions that determine its spread. It is primarily for this reason that it is no longer so commonly seen in Europe.\n\nComplications\n\nIntestinal perforation or profuse bleeding from the intestinal mucosa may occur if typhoid fever is left untreated.\n\nSource(s):http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/travel/diseases/typhoid.htm

Unfortunately, thats not precise enough to get an accurate diagnosis without guessing and getting lucky.\nThey could just be flea bites if you ever went outside and threw some food away in a filled trash can, or they could be small pox or the bird flu. Either way, I would ask a professional for advice.

What are the symptoms of salmonella poisoning?\n\n    * Diarrhoea or constipation.\n\n    * Headaches.\n\n    * Stomach cramps.\n\n    * Nausea and vomiting.\n\n    * Fever.\n\n    * Possibly, blood in the faeces.\n\nIn the case of less serious infections there are fewer symptoms - usually only diarrhoea two or three times a day for a couple of days. Most mild types of salmonella infection clear up in four to seven days without requiring any treatment other than rest and plenty of liquid.\n\nA more severe infection may cause excessive diarrhoea, stomach cramps and general health problems. In such cases, treatment with antibiotics may be necessary and a doctor should be consulted.

If you mean how is it diagnoses, then the same as normal.\n\nIf you mean, how because he is an adult, you can get it just as any other illness.  If he has a weak immune system he can get it even if he had it as a child.  Many people have the bacteria in their bodies, and only when they are weakeneded does it cause problems.\n\nI know people that get  group A strep can get NECROTIZING FASCIITIS, also known as the flesh eating bacteria.  With group B a slightly different bacterium is responsible, and can be detected via culture.\n\n"Group B streptococcus (group B strep) is a bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in newborn infants. Group B strep can also cause serious diseases in pregnant women, the elderly, and adults with other illnesses. The letter "B" refers to a classification of bacteria in the genus Streptococcus according to the makeup of the organism's cell wall."

Salmonellosis ranges clinically from the common Salmonella gastroenteritis (diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever) to enteric fevers (including typhoid fever) which are life-threatening febrile systemic illness requiring prompt antibiotic therapy. Focal infections and an asymptomatic carrier state occur. The most common form of salmonellosis is a self-limited, uncomplicated gastroenteritis

Globally, public health agencies have implemented policies to help prevent and control typhoid.  These include improved sanitation, safe drinking water, and good medical care.  In some communities those goals are too lofty and some believe that vaccination for high risk populations is the best way.  There are currently two vaccines in common use.\n\nTo better understand prevention, you need to study the disease itself.  Typhoid is caused by a virulent and invasive bacterium called Salmonella typhi.  This bacteria spreads through contaminated food or water and occasionally through direct contact with someone that is already infected.  In developing countries, the cause is generally poor santitation and contaminated drinking water.  Industrialized countries usually see typhoid when a traveler brings it back from a trip and then spreads it to others via the fecal-oral route.\n\nTo personally protect yourself from typhoid you can avoid traveling to areas that are endemic to the disease.  If you do travel, consider taking the vaccine.  While the vaccine is useful, it isn't 100% so it is advised that you wash your hands frequently, avoid untreated water (drink bottled or canned water, carbonated water is best, wipe all bottles and cans before using, no ice, bottled water when brushing teeth, etc.), avoid raw fruits and vegetables, choose cooked foods.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a spirochaete bacterium, Treponema pallidum. Syphilis has many alternate names, including "lues", "syph", "the Pox" (or "great pox", to distinguish it from smallpox), and the "French disease."\n\nThe route of transmission of syphilis is almost invariably by sexual contact; however, there are examples of direct contact infections (see yaws) and of congenital syphilis (transmission from mother to child in utero).\n\nThe signs and symptoms of syphilis are myriad; before the advent of serological testing, diagnosis was more difficult and the disease was dubbed the "Great Imitator" because it was so often confused with other diseases.\n\nSyphilis can be treated with penicillin or other antibiotics. Statistically, oral treatment is dramatically less effective than other treatments, because patients tend not to complete the course. The oldest, and still most effective, method is to inject benzathine penicillin into each buttock (procaine is added to make the pain bearable); the dose must be given half in each buttock because the amount given would be too painful if given in a single injection.\n\nAnother treatment is to administer several tablets of azithromycin (which has a long duration of action) orally under observation. This latter course may soon be obsolete, as strains of syphilis resistant to azithromycin have developed, and accounted for 10% of cases in some areas in 2004. Other treatments are less effective as the patient is required to take pills several times a day.\n\nIf not treated, syphilis can cause serious effects such as damage to the nervous system, heart, or brain. Untreated syphilis can be fatal.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 History \n2 Etymology \n3 Stages of syphilis \n3.1 Primary syphilis \n3.2 Secondary syphilis \n3.3 Tertiary syphilis \n3.4 Latent syphilis \n3.5 Congenital syphilis \n4 Testing \n5 Treatment \n6 Syphilis in art and literature \n7 See also \n8 External links \n \n\n\n[edit]\nHistory\nThere are two thoughts on the origin of syphilis: the Columbian and pre-Columbian theories. There are ongoing debates in anthropological and historical fields about the validity of either theory.\n\nThe pre-Colombian theory holds that syphilis symptoms are described by Hippocrates in Classical Greece in its venereal/tertiary form. Some passages in the Bible could refer to syphilis, especially Exodus 20:5 where the sins of the father are visited unto the third and fourth generation. There are other suspected syphilis findings for pre-contact Europe, including at a 13-14th century Augustinian friary in the northeastern English port of Kingston upon Hull. The anthropological evidence is contested by those who follow the Columbian theory.\n\nThe Columbian Exchange theory holds that syphilis was a New World disease brought back by Columbus. The first well-recorded outbreak of what we know as syphilis occurred in Naples in 1494. There is some documentary evidence to link Columbus's crew to the outbreak. Supporters of the Columbian theory find syphilis lesions on pre-contact Native Americans. Again, all the anthropological evidence is heatedly discussed on both sides of the Columbian/pre-Columbian debate. (Baker, et al.)\n\nAlfred Crosby has argued that neither side has the full story. Syphilis is a form of Yaws, which has existed in the Old World since time immemorial. Crosby argues that syphilis is a specific form of Yaws that had evolved in the New World and was brought back to the old, "the differing ecological conditions produced different types of treponematosis and, in time, closely related but different diseases". (ref:225 Crosby)\n\nThe epidemiology of the first syphilis epidemic indicates that the disease was either new or a mutated form of an earlier disease. The disease swept across Europe from its early epicenter at Naples. The early form was much more virulent than the disease of t

Typhus and typhoid fever were two diseases which the Victorians tended to confuse and use interchangeably, certainly in fictional writing. So what is the difference between typhus and typhoid, and which of them - if either - was what came to be known as 'gaol fever'?\n\nThe answer is that gaol fever was typhus, a disease caused by bacteria spreading through the bites of lice and fleas. The infection causes headache, fever and a rash of red spots. It arrived in Europe in the 15th century, and there was a fearful epidemic in 1557-59.\n\nTyphoid, on the other hand, is spread by consuming contaminated food or water and is not unrelated to salmonella.

The three forms of the Black Death were transmitted two ways. The septicemic and bubonic plague were transmitted with direct contact with a flea, while the pneumonic plague was transmitted through airborne droplets of saliva coughed up by bubonic or septicemic infected humans.\n\n     The bubonic and septicemic plague were transmitted by the the bite of an infected flea. Fleas, humans, and rats served as hosts for the disease. The bacteria (Yesenia pest is) multiplied inside the flea blocking the flea's stomach causing it to be very hungry. The flea would then start voraciously biting a host. Since the feeding tube to the stomach was blocked , the flea was unable to satisfy its hunger. As a result, it continued to feed in a frenzy. During the feeding process, infected blood carrying the plague bacteria , flowed into the Hyman's wound. The plague bacteria now had a new host. The flea soon starved to death.\n\n     The pneumonia plague was transmitted differently than the other two forms . It was transmitted through droplets sprayed from the lungs and mouth of an infected person. In the droplets were the bacteria that caused the plague. The bacteria entered the lungs through the windpipe and started attacking the lungs and throat. \n___________________________________________
