Most salmonella types only cause local infection of the gastro-intestinal tract, but some can result in serious systemic infection with prolonged fever and immobilisation. It is spread by the faecal-oral route and is therefore associated with poor sanitation and personal hygiene: * Approximately 200 cases are notified in Britain each year. Most of these are contracted from the Indian subcontinent. * Typhoid is endemic to areas of poor sanitation e.g. Southern America and the Caribbean. Avoiding contaminated water can help in preventing infection, but vaccination is recommended.
* Average price for treatment will be based on three or fewer providers so might not be representative of the true average price for that country. For more details, the country name can be clicked on to do a search for providers in that country.
