Persons with typhoid fever develop high and sustained fever, headache, constipation, chills, severe abdominal pain, fatigue, and other signs and symptoms. Typhoid fever can last from 3 to 4 weeks and may be serious or even fatal. Most ill persons need to be hospitalized for appropriate antibiotic treatment, and the infection is usually diagnosed by a blood test. Some persons with typhoid fever recover from the illness but continue to carry the bacteria and can pass it on to others. Both ill persons and carriers shed S. Typhi in their feces. Populations at highest risk of infection include infants, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. The recalled Mamey Supreme Cream Bar was distributed only in Southern California.
