2012 and 2013 Calendar
Updated 6 March, 2012
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (Salmonella Typhi) causes an estimated 22 million typhoid fever cases and 216 000 deaths annually worldwide. In Africa, the lack of laboratory diagnostic capacity limits the ability to recognize endemic typhoid fever and to detect outbreaks. We report a large laboratory-confirmed outbreak of typhoid fever in Uganda with a high proportion of intestinal perforations (IPs).

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi causes an estimated 22 million cases of typhoid fever and 216 000 deaths annually worldwide. We investigated an outbreak of unexplained febrile illnesses with neurologic findings, determined to be typhoid fever, along the Malawi–Mozambique border.

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant typhoid strains and the lack of early diagnostic tools have become major stumbling blocks in the fight against typhoid in Bangladesh.

High rates of typhoid fever in children in urban settings in Asia have led to focus on childhood immunization in Asian cities, but not in Africa, where data, mostly from rural areas, have shown low disease incidence. We set out to compare incidence of typhoid fever in a densely populated urban slum and a rural community in Kenya, hypothesizing higher rates in the urban area, given crowding and suboptimal access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene.

A randomized, controlled, double blind study was carried out in Cuban children and teenagers aged 9–13 years to evaluate the immunogenicity of vax-TyVi®—Salmonella Typhi Vi polysaccharide vaccine—with respect control vaccines.
