What are the effects of typhoid deficiency on the body?5 answersTyphoid fever can lead to various effects on the body. Thrombocytopenia, a decrease in platelet count, is a common occurrence in typhoid fever and can result in changes in laboratory test results that may be mistaken for disseminated intravascular coagulation. Additionally, typhoid fever can cause a deficiency of nicotinic acid, leading to symptoms such as glossitis and cerebral disturbances, which can be relieved by treatment with nicotinic acid. Furthermore, typhoid vaccination can result in an inflammatory response, increasing levels of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6. The disease is primarily caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and is transmitted through contaminated water or food, with poor hygiene and sewage contamination being the most important modes of transmission. In a setting of cancer chemotherapy and neutropenia, typhlitis, a necrotizing lesion of the cecum and adjacent colon, can occur, potentially requiring surgical intervention and often resulting in death.
