Abstract

Two outbreaks of typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi of the same phagotype (A, biotype II), and antibiotic susceptibility are reported. Both occurred during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first outbreak appeared among the refugees from the town of Jajce. The second outbreak appeared among the inhabitants in the village of Vidosi near Livno. This report describes main clinical, epidemiological and laboratory findings for 22 patients treated in Split University Hospital, Croatia, in the period November 1992-January 1993. Possible epidemiological connections between those two outbreaks are discussed.
