Typhoid epidemic in Mysore, India 

The epidemic was detected on 13 Feb 2006, when the Corporation Health Officials found out that the water pipe in the Under Ground Drainage (UGD) route on Manandavadi Road was getting mixed up with the drainage water from a pipe which runs parallel to it.
After the epidemic spread to other parts in the city, district Health officials collected the
blood samples of patients, and typhoid was confirmed.

Typhoid vaccination is routinely advised for travel to rural India. This report suggests that typhoid risk can be more widespread but also emphasises the need to be very circumspect about drinking water. Freshly boiled water is safe, bottled water of a reliable brand and in a reliable container being a reasonable alternative. Ice is to be avoided.
