Guess this answers the question about whether expats 'should' get vaccinated for typhoid then.

Certainly common in this country. What is the outcome regarding treatment, is she on a course of antibiotics?
Also FLB do they vaccinate here? If so, It might be worth thinking about her being vaccinated later, and then following booster vaccinations every 3 years.
Also worthwhile if you where to consider any more risks of infection with typhoid bacteria.
Hope she is well soon Frank.

Typhoid sucks man.

I caught it on return to sydney after my 1st trip to KoW.

Was living in a 12$ a night hostel living off crackers , bananas and mineral water for 2 weeks.

Probly caught it from aboung ak lakeside restaurant from contaminated water,Ice or just shitty food handling from uneducated locals.
