    Author: Thiga JW, Mutai BK, Eyako WK, Ng'ang'a Z, Jiang J, Richards AL, Waitumbi JN.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2015 Apr; 21(4):688-91. PubMed ID: 25811219.
    Abstract:
    Serum samples from patients in Kenya with febrile illnesses were screened for antibodies against bacteria that cause spotted fever, typhus, and scrub typhus. Seroprevalence was 10% for spotted fever group, <1% for typhus group, and 5% for scrub typhus group. Results should help clinicians expand their list of differential diagnoses for undifferentiated fevers.
