Overview
Epidemiology
- With an estimated 16-33 million cases of typhoid annually resulting in 500,000 to 600,000 deaths.
- In 2000, typhoid fever caused an estimated 21.7 million illnesses and 217,000 deaths.[1][2]
- In 2013, it resulted in about 161,000 deaths as compared to 181,000 in 1990.[3][4]
Prevalance
- Worldwide, typhoid fever is most prevalent in areas that are overcrowded with poor hygiene and sanitation.
- In endemic areas, the World Health Organisation identifies typhoid as a serious public health problem.
- Typhoid fever is still common in the developing world, where it affects about 21.5 million persons each year.
- Typhoid fever is common in the most parts of the world except in the industrialized regions such as the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and Japan.
- 1-6% of the individuals who are infected will develop a chronic infection in the gall bladder.[5][6]
Incidence
Worldwide, the incidence of typhoid fever varies in different parts of world.[7][8][9]
- Areas with the highest incidence of typhoid fever (>100/100,000 cases/year) include south-central Asia and south-east Asia.[10]
- Areas with the medium incidence (10-100/100,000 cases/year) include the rest of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Oceania, except for Australia and New Zealand.
- Areas with the low incidence (<10/100,000 cases/year) include Europe, North america and rest of the world.
- The incidence of typhoid fever is estimated to be less than 400 cases per year in the United States and 75% of these are acquired while travelling internationally.[11]
- The case fatality rate for typhoid fever is 1%[12]

Demographics
Age
Incidence is highest in children between the ages of 5 and 19 years.[13]
