Darkrider,
.medical conditions both acute or chronic can cause psychiatric problems. Examples of acute medications include infections like severe malaria, typhoid etc but these diagnosis is usually suspected and made in d presence of signs like fever in addition to a laboratory investigation to confirm an on going infection.

What symptoms did ur brother present with in d first episode and this current episode?
How long did it last b4 he got treatment?

For patients like this, they may behave irrationally or appear disoriented / confused and also have other medical symptoms.
It not very common to always have a repeat of such episode like what ur brother is experiencing. There must be a positive laboratory result to support this claim. Sometimes, rather than say a patient have a clear psychiatric illness n type, some hospitals hide under that umbrella of malaria and typhoid induced psychosis just may be very misleading.
I would advise that he is properly assessed n managed cos he may be at a risk of future relapses if not we'll handled.

It started in August, he complained of body weakness one morning, he later started acting strangely and then attempted to run out of the house. He was taken to hospital where a lab test showed hw had typhoid of around 340 I don't really know what that means. He was treated for some time am not sure how long, I school in another state. After that the typhoid dropped to 180 ; he started behaving normally again and was discharged. He was okay for a week or two, and then it started again around the middle of October, that's when he was admitted again

Xiadnat:
If he relapsed into it, he likely either is a carrier or he was re-infected. If he is in admitted, then they hopefully will take care of him appropriately. In that, not much you can do.

Education is vital: prevention of transmission of typoid. It is transmitted fecal oral or from food/water sources. So, will need to take care of your water and food source, practice proper sanitation, and general universal precautions such as washing hands. No eating of raw uncooked or poorly cooked meat/fish/diary products. There is also vaccination you can inquire about.

In terms of you brother, his recuperation or recovery depends on how severe his neurological system is affected. But, it is outside your hands really. All you can do is be there for him, and limit or prevent transmission and exposures to others and yourself and the like.

Gesundheit.

Tanx a lot

Hello Doctor, my brother has had typhoid induced psychiatric problems since August ending. He was okay for a while and then it started again, he is currently on admission in the hospital. Am curious and mainly worried weather the treatment should take this long, and also any general advice on the subject would be highly appreciated.
