Summary
A potentially life-threatening gastrointestinal infection, is caused by a non-spore-bearing bacilli called Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. typhi) (Santos et al, 2001). Advances in public health strategies, technology, and hygiene have led to the eradication of typhoid fever from the developed world but since the 1800s, typhoid fever has remained an endemic disease in many developing countries (Ashbolt, 2004; Bhutta and Dewraj, 2006). In Africa the overall burden of typhoid fever remains largely unknown, mainly because facilities capable of performing the blood culture tests essential for diagnosis are absent from many regions (Mweu and English, 2008)
