METHODS: We analyzed data from a cluster-randomized trial of a typhoid conjugate vaccine conducted in Dhaka, Bangladesh. A cohort of blood culture-confirmed typhoid patients (index cases) and matched controls (1:4 ratio) from the community who had not received the typhoid vaccine were followed for up to six years to identify recurrent typhoid episodes. A recurrent typhoid episode was defined as one occurring more than 30 days after the onset of the initial episode and/or involving a strain with a different antimicrobial resistance profile. Febrile patients who tested negative for Salmonella Typhi through passive surveillance were also evaluated as facility-based controls. Stratified Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for recurrent typhoid episodes.
RESULTS: We identified 13 recurrent episodes among 940 index cases and 12 episodes among 3,760 community-based controls, yielding incidence rates of 741 and 158 per 100,000 person-years, respectively, with an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 3.7; 95%CI: 1.8, 7.9; p<0.001. However, when using facility-based controls to prevent healthcare utilization bias, there was no statistically significant difference between groups (aHR: 1.5, 95%CI: 0.8, 2.8; p=0.160).
CONCLUSION: In this typhoid-endemic population comprising both children and adults, we found no evidence that natural typhoid fever confers protection against recurrent typhoid episodes.
