How frightening for you all!
I know if you read up on almost any drug, there is always a daunting list of possible adverse reactions but this one does seem especially scary - circulatory collapse being one possibility :( Also purpura (which could be why it was thought he had typhoid?)
Even Noroxin can be fatal. Almost anything can be if people have anaphylactic reactions. e.g. iodine contrast... fine for some, yet others are severely allergic.
I guess I can only go on my doctor's advice, as she knows my history, and hope I don't need it.
Heatherbelle - hope your husband has fully recovered.
