Hello. I had Typhoid fever when I was one year old. I am 52 now and was diagnosed with an astrocytoma on the pons when I was 31 . I was treated sucessfully. My question is: Could the high heat of the Typhoid Fever have altered the tissue of my brain so that I would eventually get an astrocytoma? Also, is there a site where I can go to donate my brain when i die?
Astrocyte is a type of tumor that originates within the brain tissue itself. It can vary in its behavior. Some are slow growing and relatively benign, others are fast, more aggressive and prone to do more damage to surrounding tissues. There is no relation between astrocyte and typhoid fever.2 sites for brain donation Chat Doctor.
