Age distribution of enteric fever cases in Bangladesh. A, Age distribution of all typhoid cases. B, Age distribution of typhoid cases in children under 5 years old. For children above 12 months old, the exact age, shown in black, was known only in some cases, where the exact date of birth of the child was available. The remaining cases, where the exact birth date was unavailable, and approximate age was recorded, were allocated evenly across months of that year, or “smoothed,” shown in gray. C, Proportion of typhoid cases in different age groups each year; only cases of children <12 years old were included here. D, Age distribution of all paratyphoid cases. E, Age distribution of paratyphoid cases in children under 5 years old. F, Proportion of paratyphoid cases in different age groups each year; only cases in children <12 years old were included here.
