"Do not confuse typhoid with typhus which is a different disease, caused by an entirely different organism. Typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever are both enteric fevers. Paratyphoid fever is caused by a related serotype of Salmonella enterica, and is very similar to typhoid fever clinically, but usually less severe."

"haemoglobin, leucocyte and platelet counts are usually normal or low"
"Cardiac, pulmonary, genitourinary and central nervous system imaging abnormalities may also be seen 3."
"Complications are seen in up to 15% affected patients. Acute gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common serious sequela, in as many as 10% cases; its pathogenesis is necrotic adenopathy in a Peyer patch eroding through a small bowel blood vessel 1. Generally fortunately it is mild, but in 2% it is massive, and potentially fatal without rapid resuscitation."
