has left about 150 people hospitalized, health officials said
Tuesday.
The latest typhoid outbreak occurred on the
island of Zumarraga, said Aura Corpuz, medical specialist with the
National Epidemiology Centre in Manila.
Epidemiologists suspect the outbreak was caused
by the lack of sanitation facilities and heavy rains that fell on
the area in recent weeks that washed sewerage into the open wells
residents use for drinking, said Corpuz.
