Typhus symptoms vary slightly by type. The most common symptoms are universal, affecting nearly all typhus patients. Treatment focuses on using antibiotic medication to stop the infection. Untreated typhus can lead to serious complications and be potentially fatal. Prevention of typhus is easier than treatment.
As a result, typhoid is common in areas where sanitation is poor. Infections tend to develop over time, starting about three weeks after exposure. Symptoms include high fever, weakness, stomach pains, headaches, loss of appetite, diarrhea or constipation. Some patients will develop a flat, rose-colored rash.
