This study investigates the prevalence, management, and control of Typhoid fever, a critical public health concern in Nigeria, particularly in Agbarho, Delta State. Through extensive survey data collected from 80 participants, the study aims to assess the prevalence rate of Typhoid fever, evaluate community awareness regarding its causes and symptoms, and determine the knowledge of healthcare professionals regarding symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. The results revealed a high prevalence (73.75%) of Typhoid fever, with significant knowledge gaps in the community and among health workers regarding transmission routes and treatment protocols. The findings support the need for urgent educational interventions and effective control measures to combat Typhoid fever's impact in Nigeria.
