Can Salmonella Typhi Influence Cancer Development?
Research suggests that chronic infections with certain pathogens can influence cancer development. While Helicobacter pylori and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) are well-known for their links to gastric and cervical cancers, respectively, the association between Salmonella Typhi and cancer is less clear. Some studies propose a potential link to gallbladder cancer due to chronic inflammation in the biliary tract caused by the bacterium.
