Doctors reveal why monsoon conditions, unsafe water and food contamination are driving a rise in typhoid infections
Monsoon is the season when germs breed and multiply. As a result, vector- and water-borne diseases like dengue, malaria and typhoid spike in no time. Therefore, timely diagnosis and medical intervention are highly necessary.
Noticeably, typhoid made a recent resurgence with reports suggesting a spurt in the number of patients contracting the infectious illness. Incidentally, Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder-activist Abhijeet Dipke was diagnosed with typhoid last weekend amid his protest movement from Delhi’s Jantar Mantar venue (against an allegedly flawed education system with exam paper leaks) and was reportedly on IV (intravenous medication) drips.
Rampant rise
