“…Also, our finding was similar to those observed in a study conducted in northern Nigeria where more males were implicated but the sex-related difference in infection rates did not vary significantly (P < 0.05) (Ameh and Opara, 2004). In line with our 2011-2012 result, a previous study reported that females had more typhoid and paratyphoid infections than males (Umeh and Agbulu, 2009;Afroz et al, 2014). The authors inferred that the roles played girls child in performing most household chores such as fetching water from polluted streams could be the reason for such a result.…”

“…The epidemiological data on the distribution pattern of typhoid fever in Nigeria is uncertain but appears to show geographical variation. Although some studies reported the preponderance of the disease in male than female (Kam, 1996;Okome-Nkoumou et al, 2000;Akinyemi et al, 2005), another reported the preponderance of the disease in female than male (Afroz et al, 2014).…”

“…Treatment of Salmonella infection constitutes a major challenge to clinician because the organism is not only resistant to first line antibiotics, but also exhibits multi drug resistance phenotype against fluoroquinolones and third generation cephalosporins. This phenomenon may limit the possibilities for effective treatment of human infections (Afroz et al, 2014). The high risk populations…”

Typhoid fever constitutes significant health problems in developing countries. This study examines the trend of typhoid fever retrospectively over a 4-year period among patients attending general hospital Mubi, Adamawa State. Medical records of clinically diagnosed patients with confirmed Salmonella infections were reviewed for the said period. Laboratory diagnosis for typhoid cases in this hospital was based on Widal agglutination tests. The test was performed with standardized Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi O and H antigens and values of titre equal or greater than 1:160 for O and H agglutinins were regarded as positive. The result showed an overall prevalence rate of 81.5% (2011-2012) and 82.3% (2013-2014). Highest cases of typhoid fever was reported among females (97.7%) than males (69.8%) in the year 2011-2012 and among males (84.8%) than females (79.0%) in the year 2013-2014 but with no statistical difference (P=0.466). The age group 30-60yrs are the most infected in both 2011-2012 (86.2%) and 2013-2014 (85.0%) but with no statistical difference with that of other age brackets (P=0.118). Statistically, the yearly distribution of typhoid fever showed no significant difference (P=0.298). However, monthly distribution of typhoid fever in the years under review showed significant variations. The number of positive cases recorded in all the years under study was significantly higher in August (P=0.000), but with no statistical difference with those recorded in June (P=0.062) and July (P=0.078). More so, November and December recorded significantly lower cases (P=0.001) than all other months.

“…S. Paratyphi B var Java has been isolated from poultry from Netherlands (Van Pelt et al, 2003) and Germany (Dorn et al, 2001), from chicken viscera at two slaughter plants in the state of Zulia, Venezuela (Boscan et al, 2005), from chicken in Belgium (De Jong et al, 2014), and from breeders and broiler farms in Bangladesh (Barua et al, 2013). In Bangladesh, it was also isolated from blood of patients with clinically diagnosed enteric fever at similar proportions to S. Typhi but with higher resistance rates (Afroz et al, 2014), highlighting an increased risk upon its eventual transmission to human. Thus, whether the increased frequency of this serovar relies on changes in the population dynamics (Foley et al, 2011) of S. enterica serovars in broiler farms in Colombia is an issue that also needs further investigation.…”

“…Among that contaminated water bodies, about 58% were contaminated with Salmonella typhi and 42% were contaminated with Salmonella paratyphi (Figure 11). Salmonella count in water showed peak during June and the prevalence of Salmonella typhi is higher than Salmonella paratyphi in Bangladesh [37].…”

Surface water, a vital element of ecosystem must be hygienic, but unfortunately the pollution of this water is now an alarming problem. The present work deals with the assessment of physicochemical and bacteriological profile of several untreated surface water sources to ensure its suitability for using domestic purposes and drinking along with the impact of bacterial contaminated water on public health and antibiotic resistance pattern of these bacteria. The samples were collected from twenty sampling point (13 ponds, 4 lakes, 2 rivers and one canal) of Tangail District from January 2017 to June 2017. To understand the seasonal variation, water samples were measured in two month; February (dry season) and June (wet season). Most of the water sampling points were polluted by dumping of waste, cattle wash and were not suitable for the drinking or other domestic purposes. Obtained results showed that water of the study area is slightly alkaline, no remarkable variation in the temperature of the water in both seasons and DO of all the sampling station were lower than standard limit during February. The mean concentration (M.C.) of total Coliform were 4 × 10 22 cfu/100ml and 4.5 × 10 18 cfu/100ml at cfu/100ml at June) were isolated from several of the investigated water sources. The total counts of these pathogenic bacteria exceeded the acceptable limit during both season and also showed resistance against a broad range of commercially available antibiotics. People who were using these water frequently suffering from various water borne diseases. These untreated water sources pose a major threat to the public health and therefore need for exigent intervention by government.
