Coinfection with malaria and typhoid fever is a major public health issue in developing countries. In endemic areas, including Ethiopia, people are at risk of acquiring both malaria and typhoid fever at the same time. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the magnitude of malaria-typhoid fever coinfection in febrile patients attending hospital at Southern Ethiopia. Methods. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out on 416 febrile patients attending Arba Minch General Hospital from 1st October to 30th December 2021. The data was collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Capillary and Venus blood samples were collected for assessing malaria and typhoid fever, respectively. Blood smear, culture, and biochemical tests were performed based on standard parasitological and microbiological methods. The <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mi>P<\/a:mi>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>-value \u2264 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. The magnitude of malaria, typhoid fever, and their coinfections was 26.2% (109\/416), 6.5% (27\/416), and 3.1% (13\/416), respectively. Among the confirmed malaria cases, about 66% of infections were Plasmodium falciparum. The malaria-typhoid fever coinfection showed a statistically significant association with a clinical presentation of a continuous pattern of fever (AOR\u2009=\u20095.84; 95% CI: 1.44\u201323.71, <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <c:math xmlns:c=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\">\n                        <c:mi>P<\/c:mi>\n                        <c:mo>=<\/c:mo>\n                        <c:mn>0.014<\/c:mn>\n                     <\/c:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>) and chills (AOR\u2009=\u20093.94; 95% CI: 1.04\u201314.89, <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <e:math xmlns:e=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M3\">\n                        <e:mi>P<\/e:mi>\n                        <e:mo>=<\/e:mo>\n                        <e:mn>0.044<\/e:mn>\n                     <\/e:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>). About 29.6% of Salmonella isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR). Conclusion. The total rate of coinfection with malaria and typhoid fever was comparable to that of previous studies. With the consideration of higher prevalence of drug resistance of Salmonella spp. and higher prevalence of malaria\u2010typhoid fever coinfection, proper diagnostic procedure should be implemented for proper use of drugs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/2165980","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,1]],"date-time":"2022-08-01T16:20:51Z","timestamp":1659370851000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Magnitude of Malaria-Typhoid Fever Coinfection in Febrile Patients at Arba Minch General Hospital in Southern Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"given":"Sifray","family":"Batire","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arba Minch University, Arba Minch, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsegaye","family":"Yohanes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arba Minch University, Arba Minch, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dagimawie","family":"Tadesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arba Minch University, Arba Minch, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melat","family":"Woldemariam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arba Minch University, Arba Minch, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0574-6074","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Befikadu","family":"Tariku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arba Minch University, Arba Minch, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zebenay","family":"Sanbeto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arba Minch University, Arba Minch, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debalke","family":"Dale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arba Minch University, Arba Minch, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6133-8860","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dagninet","family":"Alelign","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arba Minch University, Arba Minch, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"114","volume-title":"Principles of Internal Medicine","author":"J.
