Abstrakt: The article presents a study which identified the burden of Salmonella carriage in an area of Kathmandu, Nepal with a high incidence of enteric fever. The study has confirmed 12 isolates of S. typhi and nine S. paratyphi. It was noted that the demographic characteristics of the population with Salmonella carriage were similar to the all population undergoing cholecystectomy and that patients with Salmonella infection were likely to have histopathologic findings of acute inflammation.
