A member asked:
Explain why the incubation period for typhoid fever would be longer than for cholera.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colplex: Two very different microorganisms with different mechanisms for producing disease. Cholera affects only the mucous lining of the bowel and produces a toxin-mediated watery diarrhea. Salmonella typhi infection begins in the intestinal tract, spreading to the local lymph nodes, to the blood stream, etc.
