A member asked:
Can you tell me the history of typhoid fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In 400 character or: less, Probably not adequately. Karl Eberth first described the bacillus that was believed to cause typhoid in 1880. Georg Gaffky confirmed it 4 years later. However the really fascinating story is about Typhoid Mary (Mary Mallon). See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3959940/
