Guidelines for the Management of Typhoid
Guidelines for the Management of Typhoid Fever July 2011 2 | P a g e Guidelines for the Management of Typhoid Fever July 2011 3 | P a g e Preface A resurgence of Typhoid fever was recorded in zimbabwe in January 2010. The risk factors for Typhoid are similar to those of cholera and other epidemic prone diarrhoeal diseases and are mainly related to access to safe water, the functionality of sanitation systems as well as food safety. An outbreak of Typhoid occurred in the city of Harare against the backdrop of a challenged sewage reticulation system, limited access to safe water mainly affecting two densely populated suburbs of Harare, Mabvuku and Tafara. Like other epidemic prone diarrhoeal diseases, Typhoid is notified officially to the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare on a weekly basis through the Rapid Disease Notification System; and daily updates are required during outbreaks.
