Infectious Diseases Specialist 's  Response
Hello ,
I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

I suspect a relapse of typhoid in you.

There are two reason for the relapse, either it is multi drug resistant Salmonella typhi or the bacteria is hidden on the gallbladder or bone marrow.

I suggest you to do bile and bone marrow culture and sensitivity for Salmonella typhi. Once you have on hand salmonella typhi report you can take the treatment accordingly.

Completed treatment can cure you completely with out causing relapse or reinfections
