    The present research addresses the study of the incidence of Typhoid fever, Paratyphoid fever, and Malta fever among the inhabitants of the Human Settlement Villa María del Triunfo. The methodology applied was prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional, and analytical. The proposed objectives were: to determine the positive cases of Typhoid fever, Paratyphoid fever, and Malta fever in the population of the Human Settlement Villa María del Triunfo, according to age and type of activity carried out by the study population. The following results were obtained: the predominant sex was female, representing 62% (96) of the cases found. The age range was divided into three groups: the youngest group, 14 to 35 years old, comprised 42% (66) of the sample; the second group, 36 to 57 years old, accounted for 33% (52) of the cases; and finally, the oldest group, 58 to 79 years old, represented 24% (38). Positive serology was found with an overall incidence of 14% for some type of fever in the perception of their quality of life. Likewise, the domain with the greatest alteration was that of activity. The age group from 36 to 57 years presented the highest incidence, and finally, females were the population that had a greater incidence in their perception of quality of life compared to males. It is concluded that the study carried out among the inhabitants of the Human Settlement Villa María del Triunfo was very useful to observe that, of the total population studied, there is a percentage that presents at least one of the three types of fever under study—Typhoid fever, Paratyphoid fever, and Malta fever. Likewise, the incidence predominates in females and in the youngest age group, in reference to their quality of life. At the same time, the frequent consumption of food in different places within the Human Settlement, mainly in markets and public places, also increases the incidence of these types of fever.
