Aim. To study clinical features of typhoid fever (TF) in migrants (subjects in military service in Tadjikistan). Material and methods. In chronic water epidemic TF symptoms were studied in 547 young soldiers and officers serving in Tadjikistan with incomplete biological and/or professional adaptation. Results. In most cases TF onset was acute, the course was severe with fever and intoxication. TF clinical picture was similar to that of the beginning of the XX century. Despite antibiotic resistance of the causative agent, recurrences and serious complications were rare, lethal outcomes were not registered. Conclusion. Relatively low frequency of recurrences and severe complications, absence of lethal outcomes in this study can be explained by long-term combined etiotropic therapy and good premorbid condition of the patients.
