Abstract
Typhoid fever is a disease that is caused by bacteria called salmonella typhi. It is also known as Enteric fever, Typhoid fever is been characterized by high fever, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, etc. It is often treatable when diagnosed early, but if left untreated could lead to other medical complications like intestinal haemorrhaging which may require major surgeries and could even lead to death. This paper proposes a method of diagnosis of Typhoid Fever using Fuzzy Logic. The system was built with twenty input membership functions, one output membership function and about two hundred inference rules which was simulated with MATLAB R2013 and therefore 97.5 % accuracy was obtained. The centroid method was used for the defuzzification. Although there are many systems in existence, this work is however based on the assumption that a system with a higher number of inference rules will make diagnosis a better.
