Typhoid fever: Is the past the future of the present?
Typhoid fever is an enduring classic among infectious diseases so much so that the first chapter in Sir William Osler’s magnum opus “The Principles and Practice of Medicine” was on typhoid fever.[1] More than a century later, unfortunately, typhoid fever continues to be an important cause of acute febrile illness in the tropics, which largely includes developing nations such as India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Vietnam.[2] Notwithstanding the fact that age-standardized incidence rates of typhoid and paratyphoid fevers had declined by about 55% between 1999 and 2017, typhoid and paratyphoid fevers caused an estimated 14.3 million cases and 136,000 deaths globally in 2017.[3]
