👉 Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection that affects the small intestine. It can cause inflammation and damage to the lining of the intestines, leading to symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and sometimes severe dehydration. There are two main types of typhoid fever: acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term). Acute typhoid is a relatively common infection that affects about 10-25% of the world's population each year.
