Salmonella Typhi is the underlying cause of typhoid fever, a systemic illness typically contracted by consuming tainted food or drink. The acute illness is characterized by prolonged fever, headache and nausea, loss of appetite, and constipation or sometimes diarrhoea. The symptoms are frequently vague and clinically indistinguishable from those of other feverish conditions. Clinical severity varies, though, and severe cases might result in life-threatening complications or even death. It occurs predominantly in association with poor sanitation and lack of clean drinking water [1].
