In the present study, 25 samples were collected in different places from different food handlers. [scialert.net]
The present studies show that chronic typhoid carriers regularly excrete large numbers of S. typhosa in stool. The evidence strongly suggests that the biliary tract is the primary site of multiplication in those patients. [ajtmh.org]

Abstract INTRODUCTION The treatment of chronic typhoid carriers is an important public health problem. Hundreds of non-surgical methods of therapy have been tried and found ineffective. [annals.org]
Prognosis
What is the treatment for typhoid fever, and what is the prognosis? Typhoid fever is treated with antibiotics that kill the Salmonella bacteria. Prior to the use of antibiotics, the fatality rate was 20%. [medicinenet.com]
Stupor, coma, or shock reflects severe disease and a poor prognosis. Complications occur mainly in patients who are untreated or in whom treatment is delayed. [merckmanuals.com]
What Is the Prognosis of Typhoid Fever? With appropriate antibiotic therapy, most patients recover from the disease. However, as many as 30% of people who do not receive therapy will die. [emedicinehealth.com]
Prognosis In the days before antibiotics, mortality was 20%. Between 10-20% of patients treated with antibiotics have a relapse, usually a week after stopping the antibiotic (although it can be much later). [patient.info]
