That is a very old disease & fortunately the vacinations they have today, this disease was vitually wiped out. The truth is you would be very luck to survive this disease the first time. In yrs. gone by it killed many & it killed them fast. I suppose the drugs they could use are better today, but yrs back they had little to fight it with. I do believe if you did survive your body had the antibody that would prevent you have getting the second time. Measles or mumps were like that too. Still with Typhoid I wouldn't want to risk it. A bad one.

Antibodies are produced after infection, but the immunity is not life long. Theoretically yes, you can get typhoid more than once.
Even immunity produced by vaccines lasts for only about 3 years.
