Once the bacterium is ingested it quickly multiplies within the stomach, liver or gallbladder and finally enters the blood stream causing symptoms like fever (usually between 1030F- 1040F), rashes (flat, rose-coloured spots), vomiting, loss of appetite, headaches, general fatigue. In severe cases one may suffer from intestinal perforations or internal bleeding, diarrhoea or constipation.

One of the characteristic symptoms of typhoid is a 'step ladder fever'. This means that the fever gradually fluctuates between very high and low fever for a short period of time, till it peaks at 1030F - 1040F. In patients without any complications the condition subsides in about three to four weeks after its onset. In about 10% of people, the condition relapses after about one week of convalescence.

typhoid does alot it can make you throw up alot when ur body trys to eliminate it. It can give you stomch cramps, a rare thing is rashes and itching. you can faint from lack of your heart beating

It does a lot more than that. The symptoms you listed are for Salmonella only, Salmonella Typhi or TYPHOID FEVER, which can lead first to a rash, inflammation of your liver and spleen, pneumonia, MENINGITIS, brain damage and death.

It can cause intestinal hemorrhaging, and worse it can then cause PERFORATIONS in your intestines (holes) and if fecal matter leaves the intestines for your gut cavity it is FREQUENTLY fatal as you get sepsis.

Encephalitis (brain swelling)which can cause SEVERE permanent damage or death.

It can cause the inner lining of your HEART to become inflamed (endocarditis) which can lead to heart failure, the need for heart surgery, ETC.

it can cause INFLAMMATION OF THE BONE which is horrible and painful.

It may cause a sudden and painful infection and inflammation of the gall bladder, the complications of which can be gangrene and pancreatitis NOT GOOD.

IN SHORT, SALMONELLA CAUSES THE MAJORITY OF ALL FOOD BORNE ILLNESS HOSPITALIZATIONS (around 65%) AND THE MOST DEATHS PER YEAR OF FOOD BORNE ILLNESSES, around 58% of all deaths due to food bacteria caused illness and these deaths are most likely DUE TO TYPHOID AND NOT REGULAR SALMONELLA
