Acute Febrile Illness Among Children in Butajira, South–Central Ethiopia During the Typhoid Fever Surveillance in Africa Program

We investigated acute febrile illness in children aged ≤15 years enrolled at healthcare facilities in Butajira, Ethiopia, during January 2012 to January 2014 for the Typhoid Fever Surveillance in Africa Program.
