Typhoid RT PCR Kit

Typhoid and paratyphoid fevers are commonly grouped together under the collective term - 'enteric fever'. Typhoid fever is a serious illness caused by Salmonella typhi, a gram-negave bacterium while paratyphoid fever is caused by Salmonella paratyphi A, B, or C subtypes. Typhoid fever is prevalent in developing countries. In the year 2019, 9.2 million cases of Typhoid fever and 110,000 deaths were reported worldwide, with the highest incidence in the South East Asian, Eastern Mediterranean and African regions. On an average, 12.5 million people are infected with the illness every year. Typhoid and paratyphoid infections are transmitted mainly by the fecal-oral route. The infection is contracted by eating or drinking contaminated food or water or by coming in contact with patients of typhoid fever. The bacteria are carried in the bloodstream and the internal tract of infected persons.
