Explain Vitamins requirement during thyphoid

Vitamins: Vitamins which need to be emphasized include B complex, considering the increase  in  the energy requirement and a decreased ability of the intestine to assimilate and synthesize some of the B  complex  vitamin due  to compromised digestive processes and altered microbial flora. As a result, antibiotics  are prescribed.  In addition, vitamins A and C are also needed to boost immunity,  favour wound healing  and maintenance of  the integrity of epithelial membrane (gut mucosa). Vitamin supplementation may be given in the early stages of the infection when the patient is anorexic and has low food tolerance.
