An infectious disease caused by a specific strain of bacteria, Salmonella paratyphi, which causes illness in humans exclusively. Paratyphoid fever is caused by ingested food or water contaminated by human fecal matter; the incubation period is from 5 to 21 days. The disease affects the small intestine, causing severe diarrhea and abdominal cramping. The illness is sometimes referred to as enteric fever. Paratyphoid fever is uncommon but has been known to occur in India. It is treated with antibiotics. The disease is less severe than typhoid fever, which is caused by a related strain of bacteria, Salmonella enterica typhi. It is usually treated with antibiotics.<\/p>\n
An infectious disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella paratyphi A, B, or C. Bacteria are spread in the feces of patients or carriers, and outbreaks occur as a result of poor sanitation or unhygienic food-handling. After an incubation period of 1-10 days, symptoms, including diarrhea, mild fever, and a pink rash on the chest, appear and last for about a week. Treatment with chloramphenicol is effective. Vaccination with TAB provides temporary immunity against paratyphoid A and B.<\/p>\n
A rare form of febrile gastroenteritis in Western societies, marked by fevers, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, and occasionally intestinal perforation. It is caused by Salmonella paratyphi (A and B strains) and related Salmonella species, typically contracted by travelers who have visited tropical countries. Antibiotic treatments include ciprofloxacin or chloramphenicol.<\/p>\n
A condition sharing many similarities with typhoid fever, except that it’s brought about by a distinct bacterium, Salmonella Paratyphi, and typically displays milder symptoms.<\/p>\n
A sudden infectious fever caused by a paratyphoid bacterium, displaying clinical symptoms similar to either typhoid fever or acute gastroenteritis.<\/p>\n
