I went to Bali in November 2008 with 14 other girls and 1 of us got Thyphoid when we returned to Canada. She was very sick. I had been to Bali 17 times before and had never herad of anyone getting thyphoid but when questioning friends who live in Bali (mostly ex-pats) they said that it is not that uncommon. I now have had the thyphoid injections and did 2 trips in 2009 with no problems for myself or any of the ladies that I travelled with.
It might be a case of bad luck but I guess it's also good to know for furture trips. I hope you friends recover quickly. I hear that it is not very pleasant (unless you want to lose weight!)
