Abstract

Results of a study to evaluate and assess the infection trends of Typhoid fever in the United States have revealed that such infections in the US are caused by travel to the Indian subcontinent and a large number of them tend to occur due to decreased susceptibility to fluoroquinolones. The requirement and need for mass vaccination strategies using inexpensive vaccines is highlighted.
