Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi causes typhoid and paratyphoid fevers respectively. Out of the one thousand two hundred and six (1206) sample analyzed for Typhoid and Paratyphoid fevers using tile method; 748 (62.0%) were positive while 458 (38%) were negative. Females were found to have the highest positivity rate of 413 (68.4%), while males had 335 (55.5%) positivity rate. The age bracket with the highest positivity rate 0-10years and above (28.3%), followed by 11-20years (26.2%). The age bracket with the lowest percentage positivity was 60years and above (6.0). We therefore wish to conclude that women should take personal hygiene serious and people from the following age groups of 0-10years and those at age 11-20 regardless of their sex should do likewise as Salmonellosis was found to be high among those categories of people.
