Salmonella Typhi Infection

The bacterium Salmonella Typhi causes Typhoid Fever. There are about 400 cases of Typhoid Fever each year in the United States. Approximately 75% of those cases are related to international travel. You can get Typhoid Fever by eating or drinking products that have been contaminated by a person who is "shedding" Salmonella Typhi in their stools. It can also occur if sewage contaminated with S. Typhi gets into the drinking water.

Persons with typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract. Some carriers may recover from typhoid fever but continue to carry the bacteria. Salmonella Typhi is shed and can be spread by both actively ill persons and latent carriers.

Our Salmonella Typhi lawyers have successfully negotiated with restaurants, food manufacturers and insurance companies to obtain full and adequate compensation for our Salmonella clients. Contact our Salmonella Typhi lawyers for a free consultation. Salmonella Typhi is preventable, and those responsible for making you sick should be held accountable.

Salmonella Typhi Symptoms and Complications

The first symptom of Salmonella Typhi and Typhoid Fever is usually a high, sustained fever. The fever may be as high as 103° to 104° F (39° to 40° C) and may be accompanied by stomach pains, headache, weakness or loss of appetite. In some cases, patients have a rash of flat, light red spots. The only way to confirm a S. Typhi infection and Typhoid fever is to have samples of stool or blood tested for the presence of S. Typhi.

Once Salmonella Typhi bacteria are consumed, they multiply and spread into the bloodstream. The severity of the Typhoid Fever depends on the extent of contamination, the patient’s age and how quickly treatment is started. Typhoid Fever is life-threatening.
