About the Webinar

Typhoid fever remains a significant public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, yet it is often overlooked among neglected tropical infections. This webinar will explore the epidemiology, transmission dynamics, and clinical presentation of typhoid fever in contemporary practice. Participants will gain insights into diagnostic challenges, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and evidence-based treatment strategies. The session will also discuss prevention measures, including vaccination, sanitation, and public health interventions. Designed for healthcare professionals, this discussion aims to renew focus on typhoid fever as a preventable and manageable infectious disease.
