Presentation
Children presented with prolonged fever, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy. Five children presented with a rash. Unusual manifestations included aseptic meningitis and Kawasaki-like presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Rickettsia typhi causes endemic typhus, a relatively mild, acute febrile illness characterized by headache and macular rash. It is maintained in rodents and transmitted to humans by flea Xenopsylla cheopis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This disease is manifested by high fever, severe headache, musculoskeletal pain, and occasionally rash. [elsevier.es]
Indications for Testing Testing for R. typhi is indicated in patients who have symptoms consistent with infection (eg, a persistent fever accompanied by headache or a rash spreading from the trunk), particularly those who have traveled to a tropical or [arupconsult.com]
Disease is characterized by fever and headache roughly 1-2wks following inoculation. [pathwaymedicine.org]

Treatment
Species-specific testing run in parallel is advised when possible, although bacterium identification does not alter treatment recommendations. [arupconsult.com]
Although treatment with tetracycline antibiotics is effective, treatment is often misguided or delayed due to diagnostic difficulties. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
What is the treatment for rickettsia typhi? Rickettsial infections can be treated successfully with tetracycline antibiotics, especially doxycycline. Chloramphenicol is the second-line treatment option. [dermnetnz.org]
Etiology
Rickettsia typhi has been described as the MT etiological agent. Rickettsia felis produces an infection similar to MT. The aim of the study is to determine their seroprevalence in humans in Catalonia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Rickettsia typhi is the fleaborne etiologic agent of murine typhus (also called endemic typhus), a leading global source of undifferentiated febrile illness. [arupconsult.com]
Epidemiology
This study's results contributed to a better knowledge of Rickettsia epidemiology in Yucatán. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiological data were obtained by direct survey. [accedacris.ulpgc.es]
Pathophysiology
MORU also has ongoing studies to determine the pathophysiological mechanisms of scrub typhus infection. [tropmedres.ac]
In fact, BZD presents with milder symptoms and is rarely fatal. [7] [8] Pathophysiology The human body louse is only a vector and not a reservoir because infected lice die five to seven days after they become infected with R. prowazekii. [statpearls.com]
Prevention
Prevention of rickettsia typhi There are no existing vaccines for rickettsial infections. Rickettsial infections can be prevented by taking measures to reduce exposure to lice and fleas. [dermnetnz.org]
Age, sex, residential locality, risk behavior, stage according to criteria of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, CD4+/CD8+ T cells, Hepatitis B antigen, and Hepatitis C serology were surveyed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
