Have either treated or naturally resolved serious infections in children, such as typhoid or brucellosis, been linked to chronic conditions in those children as adults.
Christian G Meyer
If brucellosis and typhoid fever are treated appropriately, there will not be any sequelae. But, e.g. (and there are many more examples; poliomyelitis etc.) when a child survives cerebral malaria, cognitive deficits may remain. One form of schistosomiasis leads to later occurring bladder carcinoma, Hepatis B and C infection may lead to later liver cell carcinoma etc etc.

No,(typhoid fever) enteric bacteria cannot lead to chronic condition rather than death.
