Persons who have recovered from typhoid despite the fact that they continue to spread the bacteria of disease.

A person may become an asymptomatic carrier (healthy carrier) of typhoid fever, who has contracted an infectious disease although presently suffers no symptoms of the disease, but capable of infecting others.
