Hello and welcome to HCM forum.

First of all let me clarify that baldness and Typhoid have no co-relation .

Typhoid is an infectious disease than can affect your general health and cause extreme dehydration and weakness if not treated well and soon .

The weakness can lead to hairfall , reduced stamina , sometimes mal-absorption of the nutrition that is taken .Now that can be a reason for hairfall and generally that hairfall generally starts from 6 weeks to three months after Typhoid .

If you have taken timely treatment and are responding well to the treatment that isthere is no fever , vomiting , diarrhoea , then there is hardly any chance that you shall suffer from significant hairloss .

Take care and get well soon .
