This article presents a comprehensive dataset compiling reported cases of typhoid fever from culture-confirmed outbreaks across various geographical locations from 2000 through 2022, categorized into daily, weekly, and monthly time series. The dataset was curated by identifying peer-reviewed epidemiological studies available in PubMed, OVID-Medline, and OVID-Embase. Time-series incidence data were extracted from plots using WebPlotDigitizer, followed by verification of a subset of the dataset. The primary aim of this dataset is to serve as a foundational tool for researchers and policymakers, enabling the development of robust, model-based strategies for the control of typhoid fever outbreaks. The article describes the method by which the dataset has been compiled and how the quality of the data has been verified. Furthermore, it discusses the dataset's potential applications in optimizing vaccination campaigns, improving public health planning, and tailoring interventions to specific epidemiologic contexts. This article contributes significantly to the field of infectious disease modeling, offering a valuable resource for enhancing typhoid fever control measures globally.
