Abstract

Typhoid fever remains a major global health problem, with approximately 21 million cases and 128,000–161,000 deaths annually. Appropriate antibiotic therapy is essential; however, irrational antibiotic use can reduce sensitivity and complicate treatment outcomes. This study aimed to describe antibiotic use and its relationship with the length of hospitalization among typhoid fever patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital, Makassar. A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed. Most patients were male (54.21%) and aged 17–25 years (41.12%). Ceftriaxone was the most frequently prescribed antibiotic (72.09%), with cephalosporins being the dominant antibiotic class (85.27%). Intravenous administration was more common (75.19%) than oral therapy. The most frequent length of hospital stay was five days (30.84%). Overall, typhoid fever patients were predominantly young adults treated with intravenous cephalosporins, particularly ceftriaxone, with an average hospitalization duration of five days.
