Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Typhoid fever is a vaccine preventable disease caused by Salmonella typhi that spreads through contaminated food and water. The incidence in developing countries is still a public health problem due to overcrowded living, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene practices. The aim of study was to identify the number of typhoid incidents among food handler who took typhoid vaccination and applied good hygiene practices. Methodology: Articles with study design of observational studies (cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies) and Randomized Control Trial will be reviewed. All studies until January 2019 will be retrieved. Our intervention will involve vaccination and good hygiene practice among food handlers. Any good hygiene practice such as performing hand hygiene before and after food service, carrying out pest control screening (flies screen) and use of safe water (chlorination) for food serving will be included as intervention. We will obtain the relevant articles according to the keywords using electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Hindari and EBSCO. Research team members will independently screen all abstracts and full-text, included and excluded studies using PRISMA-P. A descriptive data analysis using IBM Software SPSS Version 23 will be performed. RESULTS: The outcome of interest will be the incidence of typhoid fever among food handlers in different settings such as among those who took vaccination and those who applied good hygiene practices.
