The serious complications of paratyphoid fever generally occur after 2–3 weeks of illness and may include intestinal hemorrhage or perforation, which can be life threatening. Those diagnosed with Type A of the bacteria strain rarely die from it (in rare cases of severe intestinal complications). With proper testing and diagnosis, the mortality rate falls to less than 1%.
