-[[Image:Typhoid feverI.gif|thumb|right|Locations of typhoid outbreaks worldwide]]
-With an estimated 16-33 million cases of typhoid annually resulting in 500,000 to 600,000 deaths In endemic areas,  the [[World Health Organisation]] identifies typhoid as a serious public health problem. Its incidence is highest in children between the ages of 5 and 19 years.<ref name="who">{{cite web | title = Typhoid Fever | publisher = World Health Organisation | url = http://www.who.int/vaccine_research/diseases/diarrhoeal/en/index7.html | accessdate = [[2007-08-28]]}}</ref>
-In the United States about 400 cases occur each year, and 75% of these are acquired while traveling internationally. Typhoid fever is still common in the developing world, where it affects about 21.5 million persons each year. Typhoid fever is common in most parts of the world except in industrialized regions such as the United States, Canada, western Europe, Australia, and Japan. Therefore, if you are traveling to the developing world, you should consider taking precautions. Over the past 10 years, travelers from the United States to Asia, Africa, and Latin America have been especially at risk.
