Solution

Dear student. Among Tuberculosis and Typhoid, Tuberculosis does much more damage and is in many cases even fatal. Typhoid progresses in the form of a fever and starts to affect digestive and neural function, but it subsides by itself by the fourth week. However Tuberculosis is chronic in nature, and in many cases the upper lobes of the lungs and the pulmonary artery are severely affected, resulting in the patient coughing up a lot of blood. It can severely hamper respiration, ultimately leading to the death of the individual. Regards
