Abstract
Sera from patients (n=1479; 0-80 years old) seeking medical attention for feverish conditions were screened for significant typhoidal antibody titers (1:160) using Widal test. Salmonella enterica serovar typhi antibodies (57.9%) predominated. Distribution of the typhoidal serotypes was significantly associated with seasons (c S. Typhi = 35.8, p<.05; c 2
