paratyphoid fever
Paratyphoid fever is a bacterial infection similar to typhoid fever, caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi. The infection is transmitted through the ingestion of food or water that has been contaminated by the feces or urine of an infected person. The disease is characterized by symptoms such as fever, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and occasionally a rash. It is less severe than typhoid fever but can still cause significant health problems if not treated. The condition is more common in developing countries with poor sanitation.

Paratyphoid fever
Paratyphoid fevers are a group of enteric illnesses caused by serotypic strains of the Salmonella genus of bacteria, S. Paratyphi. There are three serovars of the species of S. enterica that cause paratyphoid: S. Paratyphi A, S. Paratyphi B, and S. Paratyphi C. They are transmitted by means of contaminated water or food. The paratyphoid bears similarities with typhoid fever, and the two are referred to by the common name enteric fever. The course of paratyphoid is more benign.
