Excerpt

The term ‘enteric fever’ was coined to embrace both typhoid and paratyphoid. It was known as a generalized infection of the reticuloendothelial system and intestinal lymphoid tissue accompanied by sustained fever and bacteraemia. Typhoid has remained a major public health issue in many tropical countries and the highest burden of the disease is in Asia (Pang et al. 1998). The global burden of typhoid was estimated as 16,000,000 cases and 600,000 deaths per year (Pang and Puthucheary 1983; Pang and Bhutta 1995). Currently global pandemics are being caused by the less common serovar of S. typhi (Miko et al. 2002). …
