What Causes Severe Hair Loss After Being Treated For Typhoid Fever?

Hi!! Same with the other patients here, I experienced also hair loss months after I had my Typhoid fever, to add in my case I was then had a Blood Transfusion because of my Anemic condition. My Diagnosis was Typhoid Hepatitis. As of now I m doing okay-- (indeed next year I may find my self entering Med School :))
