Like any vaccine, the typhoid vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person.Įvery effort has been made to ensure that the information provided by Cerner Multum, Inc. Typhoid vaccine will not treat an active infection that has already developed in the body, and will not prevent any disease caused by bacteria other than Salmonella typhi. This vaccine works by exposing you to a small amount of the bacteria, which causes your body to develop immunity to the disease. Although not part of a routine immunization schedule in the U.S., typhoid vaccine is recommended for people who travel to areas where the disease is common. Typhoid vaccine is used to help prevent this disease in adults and children who are at least 6 years old. People who travel to those regions are at risk of coming into contact with the disease. Typhoid fever is most common in non-industrialized parts of the world, especially Asia, Africa, and Central or South America. Once in the digestive tract, typhoid infection can spread to the blood and other parts of the body.
This usually occurs by eating food or drinking water that has become contaminated with feces from an infected person.
Typhoid is spread through contact with the stool (bowel movements) of a person infected with the bacteria. Typhoid can cause high fever, muscle aches, severe headache, weakness, confusion or agitation, loss of appetite, stomach pain, diarrhea or constipation, and rose-colored spots on the skin. A carrier may have no symptoms but is capable of spreading the infection to others. If the infection spreads to the gallbladder, the infected person may become a chronic carrier of the bacteria that causes typhoid. Untreated typhoid infection may lead to kidney failure, or intestinal bleeding caused by perforation (forming of a hole), which can be fatal. Typhoid (also called "typhoid fever") is a serious disease caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria.
