Twelve patients with murine typhus were identified in Galveston, Texas, USA, in 2013. An isolate from 1 patient was confirmed to be Rickettsia typhi. Reemergence of murine typhus in Galveston emphasizes the importance of vector control and awareness of this disease by physicians and public health officials.
2013年，在美国得克萨斯州加尔维斯顿市确诊了12例鼠型斑疹伤寒患者。从1名患者身上分离出的菌株被确认为伤寒立克次体。加尔维斯顿市鼠型斑疹伤寒的再次出现凸显了病媒控制以及医生和公共卫生官员对这种疾病的认知的重要性。
