From: Salmonella blood stream infections in a tertiary care setting in Ghana
Seasonal shifts in bactereamia infections caused by typhoidal (TS) and non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) from 2010 through 2013. Monthly variations (X-axis) in Salmonella infections for each year are reported as percentage prevalence (Y-axis); prevalence for TS and NTS infections are respectively shown with dotted and plain lines. We observed a seasonal trend for TS, but not NTS, with rainfall pattern. The peak seasons for TS bactereamia were observed in March though July and from September through November; and coincided with the two rainy seasons in Ghana — April to July, and September to November.
