As malaria cases in Africa decline, other causes of acute febrile illness are being explored. To determine incidence of Borrelia crocidurae infection during June 2010-October 2011, we collected 1,566 blood specimens from febrile patients in Senegal. Incidence was high (7.3%). New treatment strategies, possibly doxycycline, might be indicated for febrile patients.
随着非洲疟疾病例的减少,人们开始探索急性发热性疾病的其他病因。为确定2010年6月至2011年10月期间克氏疏螺旋体感染的发病率,我们从塞内加尔的发热患者中采集了1566份血液标本。发病率很高(7.3%)。对于发热患者,可能需要新的治疗策略,或许是使用强力霉素。
