typhoidal
Related to enteric fever
Typhoidal describes something relating to or characteristic of typhoid fever, a serious bacterial infection caused by *Salmonella typhi* that spreads through contaminated food and water.
The term distinguishes typhoid-related strains and symptoms from other forms of salmonella infection: typhoidal salmonella versus non-typhoidal salmonella.
Medical contexts use typhoidal to describe the sustained high fever, abdominal symptoms, and systemic illness pattern associated with the disease.
