    Question

    Symptoms of typhoid include all, except–

    A.

    Abdominal pain

    B.

    Headache

    C.

    Loss of appetite

    D.

    Seizures

    Correct option is D


    Sol. Typhoid fever typically presents with prolonged fever, abdominal pain, headache, malaise, and loss of appetite. It is caused by Salmonella typhi and spreads via the fecal-oral route. Neurological symptoms like seizures are not typical of typhoid. Seizures may occur in rare complications or due to very high fever in children, but they are not common.
    Explanation of each option:
    · (a) Abdominal pain – A common symptom due to inflammation of Peyer’s patches in the intestines.
    · (b) Headache – Seen in early stages of typhoid, due to systemic infection and high-grade fever.
    · (c) Loss of appetite – An early and consistent feature in typhoid cases due to gut inflammation.
    · (d) Seizures – Correct answer. Not a characteristic symptom; occurs only if there are rare neuro-complications.
