Causes of typhoid

Typhoid-causing bacteria (tipes), Salmonella typhi, enter the intestine through contaminated food or drink to then breed in the gastrointestinal tract. High fever, abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea will arise when these bacteria have multiplied.These bacteria are related, but not the same as the salmonella bacteria that cause a person to be food poisoning.Bad Sanitation is a major cause of transmissionFeces that contain the bacteria Salmonella typhi is the main source of transmission of typhus. These feces are produced by people who have been infected earlier. In a country like Indonesia, the spread of Salmonella typhi bacteria usually occurs through the consumption of water contaminated with infected feces.The same impact occurs on foods that are washed with contaminated water. This condition is mainly due to poor sanitation and access to clean water.These bacteria can also spread if people who have been infected with bacteria do not wash their hands before touching or processing food. The spread of bacteria occurs when there are others who eat food touched by the hand of the person.People who eat processed foods will also be infected if the processor does not wash his hands after urination because transmission can also occur from urine with bacteria, although this way is more rare.Some of the following situations can also be the cause of the spread of typhoid:

    Eating seafood from water contaminated with urine and feces infected
    Eating seafood from contaminated water urine and feces infected
    Eating vegetables using fertilizer consisting of infected human waste
    Eating dairy products that have been contaminated
    Using toilets that are contaminated with bacteria. You will become infected if you touch your mouth before washing your hands after taking a bowel movement.
    Conduct oral sex with carriers of Salmonella typhi bacteria.If not treated promptly, Salmonella typhi will spread throughout the body by entering the blood vessels. Typhus symptoms will worsen if bacteria have spread beyond the digestive system. In addition, spreading bacteria can damage organs and tissues and cause serious complications. The most common conditions occur are internal bleeding or leaking bowel.
