The clinical profile of typhoid fever in infants is variable and non-specific, hence there is a high risk of missing the diagnosis. Classical signs and symptoms of typhoid fever viz. leucopenia, splenomegaly, rose spots, abdominal distention, bronchopneumonia and even fever may not be present. Infants are often asymptomatic except for a mild gastroenteritis while some present with severe septicemia Other features which may be present are convulsions and , sometimes without diarrheal. Also there is a low incidence of haemorrhage and ileal perforation in children under 5 yrs of age, though anemia can be a pronounced feature

It's not serious but at a same time not to be taken lightly. Meet local Pediatrician to correlate it with symptoms and signs.
