The results of study revealed that high prevalence of disease in males 17(56.66%), but revealed low prevalence of disease in females13(43.33%). According to age groups the result was recorded high incidence of disease in age group (10-20) (40%), while it was recorded low incidence of disease in age group (40-50) (10%). In current study, 10 serum samples out of 30 samples were detected 6(60%) positive samples for IgM, whereas 4(40%) positive samples for IgG in rapid test of Salmonella typhi.

To reduce severity of disease by control of vector and should be use vaccine to prevent disease.
