Zambia: Typhoid Breaks Out in Kasama, Mungwi
BY NORMA SIAME, 7 FEBRUARY 2013
FOUR cases of typhoid have been recorded in Kasama and Mungwi districts, Northern provincial medical officer Jelita Chinyonga has confirmed.
The disease is transmitted by ingestion of food or water contaminated with faecal matter.
Three cases were recorded in Mungwi, Lwabwe, and Kasama while the fourth victim, though admitted to Kasama General Hospital, travelled from Lusaka.
Dr Chinyonga said health officials in the province had already begun sensitising communities on the disease to ensure it did not spread.
