Extensively drug resistant (XDR) typhoid fever is a threat to travelers to Pakistan. We describe a multicontinental case series of travel-acquired XDR typhoid fever to demonstrate the global spread of the problem, and encourage preventive interventions as well as appropriate empiric antimicrobial use.
