Epidemiology

  • Typhoid occurs predominantly in countries where environmental health and hygiene standards are poor and water or food supplies are liable to contamination by sewage. Sporadic cases of typhoid can also occur in non-endemic countries following importation or failure in hygiene processes.
  • Areas of highest risk to travellers are found in South Asia. Risk to travellers is generally lower in the rest of Asia, Africa and Latin America.
