“…Around 128,000-161,000 deaths are attributed to typhoid worldwide while 11-20 million contract the infection annually (WHO, 2018b). Typhoid fever is endemic owing to hot weather conditions, regular electricity and water supply interruption (Sadeq & Rasha, 2017). This renders Middle eastern countries highly susceptible to typhoid infection.…”

Middle eastern countries are among one of the highly water stressed region in the world. Which renders it highly susceptible to water borne diseases. Water borne diseases epidemiology in Middle eastern countries were investigated in this research to determine existing health security in Middle eastern countries. Recent conflicts in the region, deteriorating water supply and infrastructure has led to major outbreaks of diarrhoea and cholera in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. The water borne disease investigated are; diarrhoea, cholera, hepatitis A, hepatitis E and typhoid to present an overall scenario in the region. Despite proper infrastructure and water supply, stability (social, political and economy) of each country is vital to contain and curb water borne diseases and its outbreak in Middle eastern countries. According to the research results, it can be assumed that there is a high need for an elaborate study to come up with a comprehensive plan to mitigate and control water borne diseases in Middle eastern countries in terms of present and future perspective.

“…Globally, overall rates of typhoid fever are reported to be falling, however, there are between 11.9 and 26.9 million cases of typhoid fever each year with (129,000 -135,900) deaths (2). Typhoid fever is endemic in Iraq, and hot weather and frequent interruptions in electricity and water supply during the summer months have resulted in an increased incidence (3). Numerous interventions were implemented to prevent and control outbreaks.…”

Background and aim: Typhoid fever is one of the major health problems facing humanity of all ages. This study was conducted to investigate the relative contribution of genetic factors to the severity of typhoid fever in a sample of the Iraqi population. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 52 patients suffering from typhoid fever that was previously diagnosed using conventional and genetic methods at Ibn Al-Baladi Hospital in Baghdad and 52 apparently healthy volunteers as a control group. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and genotyped for NRAMP1 Intron 4 (469+14 G/C) / rs3731865 and NOD2 Exon 8 (2722 G/C) / rs2066845 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) using the Nested T-ARMS PCR method. Results: explained that patients with at least one copy of the NOD2 (C) allele, whether (homozygote or heterozygote) had a high risk of severity of Typhoid fever with highly significant (P≤0.01), as well as results found that there was no association between the occurrence of NRAMP1 rs3731865 Intron 4 (469+14 G/C) with severity of Typhoid fever. Conclusion: The incidence of NOD2 Exon 8 (2722 G/C) rs2066845 SNP plus the C allele could be related to the severity of Typhoid fever in this particular Iraqi population.

Introduction : Typhoid fever is a systemic bacterial illness of public health importance. The disease is transmitted person to person due to fecal contamination of food and water. Aim: Determine the incidence of typhoid disease for patient and caregiver in hospitals of Assuit governorate. Assess the knowledge, attitude of patient and their caregiver about typhoid fever. Methods: Descriptive cross sectional research design used in the present study. The study was carried out in the fever hospitals of Assuit governorate, which consists from (Assuit fever hospital, Dirout fever hospital, Elshamia fever hospital). Sample was total coverage to all cases attended to the previous setting during six months, the total cases around (400) cases (232) patients and (168) caregiver. Tools of the study was assess the knowledge of patient and caregivers about typhoid fever and their attitude reward typhoid disease. Data collection by direct interview to cases and their caregiver started from first January / 2018 to the end June / 2018, data was analyzed by SPSS version 20.0 Results: It was found that satisfactory knowledge of patient and caregiver related to typhoid disease. It was found that negative attitude of patients and caregivers regarding to typhoid disease. Conclusion and Recommendation: It was conclude that all patients and caregivers knowledge satisfactory while negative attitude were observed that toward typhoid fever. The study recommended that education at programs should be organized for patients and caregivers regarding management and prevention of typhoid fever.
