Abstract
Full text: To study the prevalence of typhoid fever (TF) in the south of the Kyrgyz Republic and to detect TF 'hot-spots'. Materials and methods: A total of 170 patients with the confirmed diagnosis of TF admitted in 2010-2011 were subjected to analysis. To study the epidemiological features of the TF under the conditions of the environmental pollution with radionuclides, we have calculated the morbidity rate of TF per 100000 population. The present work was done under the ISTC Project KR-1516. Results and Discussion: The south of the Kyrgyz Republic is characterized by climate and geographical peculiarities and different altitudes (400 - 7495 m). Hot humid climate which is typical for the south of the Republic is favorable for the development of a population of various microbes. Almost all infectious diseases including typhoid fever are reported in the south of the Republic. A total of 82 patients with TF were reported in 2010 in the south of the Republic. Of them, 36 were children (43.9%). In 2011, 88 patients were reported; of them, 32 (36.3%) patients were children. In the town of Osh, 2 cases were reported in 2010, morbidity rate was 0.8 cases per 100000 adult population and 1.5

Of them, 36 were children (43.9%). In 2011, 88 patients were reported; of them, 32 (36.3%) patients were children. In the town of Osh, 2 cases were reported in 2010, morbidity rate was 0.8 cases per 100000 adult population and 1.5 cases per 100000 child population (children under 14). In Batken Province - 2 cases (0.5 and 1.4 cases per 100000 population), in Osh Province, 7 cases of TF were reported in 2010; morbidity rates were as follows: 0.6 cases per 100000 adult population and 0.5 cases per 100000 child population. A total of 71 patients with TF were recorded in Jalal-Abad Province. Of them, 31 patients were children under 14. Morbidity rates were 6.9 and 9.2, respectively, i.e. 12-17 times higher as compared to the other provinces of the Republic. In 2011, TF morbidity rate was 8.3 among the adult population of the Republic, and 9.2 - among the child population. No TF cases were reported in the town of Osh in 2011. In Batken Province - 1 case (0.2 per 100000 adult population), in Osh Province, 1 case; morbidity rates were 0.1 cases per 100000 adult population and 0.3 cases per 100000 child population. A total of 86 patients with TF were recorded in Jalal-Abad Province. Of them, 31 patients were children under 14. Morbidity rates were as follows: 8.3 and 9.2, respectively, i.e. 10 times higher as compared to the other provinces of the Republic. To detect the causes of TF we studied the prevalence of the disease considering the location of water sources. The incidence of TF among the residents of the Mayluusuu Valley, the water of which is polluted with radionicles, was 124.7 (adult population) and 251.6 (child population) in 2010 and 130.9 and 162.5, respectively, in 2011. Moreover, starting from 2006 typhoid fever cases have been reported in the winter and spring times among the residents of the Mayluusuu Valley. In 2010, 52 (73.23%) out of the total of 71 patients with TF admitted to the hospitals in Jalal-Abad Province were the residents of the Mayluusuu Valley, as compared to 64 (74.45%) out of the total 86 patients reported in 2011. Thus, the higher TF morbidity rate in the south of the Kyrgyz Republic is due to poor sanitation in the region (the Mayluusuu Valley), i.e. this radionuclide-polluted area remains one of the typhoid fever 'hot-spots'.
