Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Typhoid fever is due to salmonella infection and gall bladder is the site of continuous source of infection in chronic carriers.
Slight derangements in liver function test may occur in typhoid fever.
Treatment of typhoid fever also cures abnormality in liver function test.
Now your LFT is also normal and you don't need to scared.
You should again go for LFT and widal est after 2 weeks for detection of status.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
