What are the chances of getting typhoid in the us?

Uncommon: But quite possible. The organism is present, but in most instances the water purification systems prevent widespread transmission, and with a low incidence of fecal carriage, acquiring it here is unusual. Travelers to third world countries may be at significant risk.
