SINGAPORE - The authorities are investigating after 18 people fell ill from typhoid fever in about three weeks.
They are currently in stable condition, the joint statement said, adding that 14 of the patients have been discharged. Household members of those who fell ill have also been tested and advised to seek medical help if they develop symptoms, said the ministry and SFA. Dr Leong Hoe Nam, an infectious disease specialist at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, said the uptick may reflect a certain complacency among Singaporeans.
Recalling the spate of food poisoning incidents linked to Spize restaurant last year, Dr Leong pointed out that many had fallen ill with typhoid fever. Symptoms of typhoid include a prolonged fever which may be accompanied by a headache, body aches, vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation.
