Abstract
Malaria and typhoid are two diseases caused by different infectious organisms. Both have symptoms and signs that are very similar, making it possible to diagnose one instead of the other. In some parts of the world these two diseases are very common and may coexist in one patient, hence making it difficult for health personnel once they have confirmed one disease, to always be aware of the possible presence of another. The patients' blood can be tested in the laboratory to confirm the presence or absence of these diseases.
