Typhoid fever is diagnosed by examination of bacteria found in the faeces, blood, urine or other body tissue. Repeated sampling may be necessary. It is also useful for the doctor to know your recent travel history, as this infection is mainly caught abroad.

Symptoms of typhoid can be similar to malaria, so this should be ruled out as soon as possible.
