Sask. doctor explains typhoid fever after possible Martensville exposure
A Saskatoon doctor is shedding some more light on what exactly typhoid fever is and how it could’ve possibly ended up at the Domino’s Pizza in Martensville.
Dr. Joseph Blondeau, head of clinical microbiology at Royal University Hospital and the provincial lead for clinical microbiology with the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), says there are many symptoms that could be associated with typhoid fever.
“If you have a high fever and it seems to be not going away, if you’re fatigued, if you have a headache, nausea, abdominal pain, if you’re feeling really sick and you have a high fever, then certainly you should probably seek medical attention,” said Blondeau.
The SHA said the exposure happened between Oct. 11 and 19.
