Paratyphoid Fever

Paratyphoid fever is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the species Salmonella paratyphi A, B or C. The disease spreads through contaminated feces of patients or carriers of these bacteria; outbreaks occur in places with poor sanitation or after eating food prepared under unhygienic conditions.

After an incubation period of 1 to 10 days, the first symptoms of the disease appear: diarrhea, a slight increase in temperature and the appearance of a pink rash on the chest. The duration of the illness is usually about a week.

Chloramphenicol is very effective for treatment. Vaccination with typhoid-paratyphoid AB vaccine allows you to create temporary immunity against paratyphoid A and B.



Parashoe fever is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Salmonella Paratyphy A, Paratyfy B and Paratyfy C. This disease is spread through the fecal matter of sick people or carriers of this infection. Outbreaks of the disease have been observed in places with poor sanitation and hygiene conditions, as well as in places where food is prepared in unsanitary conditions. Fever usually lasts about a week, after which the incubation period of the disease lasts from one to ten days. This is a lesion of the nervous system, which affects its various parts, including the cerebral cortex.



Paratyphoid fever is a human infectious disease caused by Salmonella (Salmonella paratyphy A, B and C).

**Sources of infection** are humans with parasitic fever or asymptomatic carriers of salmonella, and cattle. In the environment (soil, water), salmonella can persist for 3 months.

The sexual mechanism of transmission is possible only when pathogenesis occurs in animals. The contact and household route of transmission is realized in the case of the presence of pathogens on hands and food products, since
