289 Hits Shahwar Ahsan Apr 7, 2022, 3:48 AM

Typhoid is a disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium. The bacterium lives in the intestines and blood of humans. It spreads from person to person through direct contact with the faeces of an infected person. No animals carry the disease, so the infection is always human to human. Left untreated, about one in 5 cases of typhoid can be fatal. With treatment, less than 4 out of 100 cases are fatal. Salmonella typhi enters the mouth and spends 1 to 3 weeks in the gut. After this, it enters the intestinal wall and enters the bloodstream.

Down syndrome (sometimes called Down's syndrome) is a condition in which a baby is born with an extra copy of its 21st chromosome - hence its other name, trisomy 21. This causes delays in physical and mental development and disability. Most disabilities are lifelong, and can shorten life expectancy. Recent medical advances, along with the cultural and institutional support of people with Down syndrome and their families, provide many opportunities to help overcome the challenges of this condition.
