Typhoid fever symptoms can be divided into four individual stages, each lasting approximately one week.
First week
- Slowly rising temperature with relative bradycardia,
- malaise
- headache
- cough.
- Epistaxis
- abdominal pain
Second week
- Prostration
- High grade fever which plateaus around 40°C
- Bradycardia (Sphygmo-thermic dissociation), classically with a dicrotic pulse wave.
- Delirium or agitation (nervous fever)
- Rose spots on the lower chest and abdomen(1/3 patients).
- Rhonchi in lung bases.
- Painful abdomen(right lower quadrant).
- Diarrhea (six to eight stools/day), green with a characteristic smell, comparable to pea-soup.[3]
- Constipation
Third week
- Intestinal hemorrhage
- Intestinal perforation in distal ileum(Fatal)
- septicaemia or diffuse peritonitis[4]
- Encephalitis
- Metastatic abscesses
- Cholecystitis
- Endocarditis
