The source of paratyphoid is similar, but more complicated than typhoid because infected animals are sources of the infection.
Disease may occur in man by direct and indirect contact with a number of species of infected animals or derived foodstuffs and excreta. Poultry products are a common source of infection.
There are many strains of Salmonella, each having characteristic signs or traits. However, many strains show the same symptoms when contracted.
Acute gastroenteritis usually appears within 12 to 48 hours after ingestion of contaminated food and may cause only mild abdominal discomfort with minimal diarrhea, lasting less than a day, or may protracted and severe in intensity.
The typhoid or septic type is less common in the USA and broken down into Type A and B.
The patient may have signs of septicemia (generalized infection in the blood), or, have an isolated abscess present. The intestine, gallbladder and appendix are often affected. The organism can localize and cause necrosis (death of tissue), in almost any part of the body (lungs, urinary tract, soft tissue, respiratory, joints, bones and heart valves).
Salmonella tends to gravitate to abnormal tissues in the body, such as in tumors, sickle cell anemia, and others, predisposing patients to eventually contract Salmonella osteomyelities.
Malaria, bartonellosis, viral hepatitis and louse-borne relapsing fever.
In addition to sanitation, attention should be given to the control of animal and human contamination of foodstuffs. This entails a wide range of effort, from the careful preparation of bone-meal fertilizer to the proper cooking of a possible contaminated egg.
