In this special report, a medical expert from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital discusses the alarming rise of typhoid cases in urban centers, contradicting the belief that it is solely a rural issue. The doctor highlights that even affluent families using RO purification are at risk due to the ‘fecal-oral route’ of transmission through contaminated raw food and salads. The expert advises that ‘boiling the water is the essential thing’ to ensure safety when RO effectiveness is uncertain. The discussion also addresses the challenge of antibiotic resistance, noting that patients now require stronger, intravenous antibiotics for longer durations due to ‘partially treated things’. Key symptoms to watch for include high-grade fever, headache, and a ‘bad taste’ in the mouth. The expert stresses that a ‘blood culture is the only standard goal test’ for accurate diagnosis.
