Follow on Google News | Typhoid Fever Exposed in New Online VideoThe IAQ Video Network produces another educational video about the health effects due to exposure to microbial pathogens and environmental hazards.
Typhoid fever is a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. In the United States about 400 cases occur each year, and 75% of these are believed to be acquired while traveling internationally. Typhoid fever is still common in the developing world, where it affects about 21.5 million persons each year and causes numerous deaths. Although there are not many cases of the disease in the U.S., it is one of many microbial pathogens that pose a potential risk of emergence. “Salmonella typhi lives only in humans and is not known to infect other animals. Persons with typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract. In addition, a small number of persons, called carriers, recover from typhoid fever but continue to carry the bacteria,” reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network and the new public outreach video. “We hope this video helps to educate people about these pathogenic bacteria and ways people can protect their health.” To view this video please visit http://www.IAQTV.com or http://www.youtube.com/ To learn more please visit http://www.cochraneassoc.com, email info@cochraneassoc.com or call (602)510-3179. # # # About Cochrane & Associates, LLC & the IAQ Video Network Cochrane & Associates is a business development, public relations and marketing consulting firm that specializes in the environmental, HVAC, mold and indoor air quality industries.
