Question

Write a short note on treatment of typhoid.

Answer 1

Treatment of disease is with antibiotics. A typhoid vaccine can prevent about $50$% to $70$% of cases. The vaccine may be effective for up to seven years. It is recommended for those at high risk or people traveling to areas where the disease is common. Sanitation and hygiene are the critical measures that can be taken to prevent typhoid. Typhoid does not affect animals, so transmission is only from human to human.
