To elucidate the epidemiology of murine typhus, which is infrequently reported in Japan, we conducted a cross-sectional study involving 2,382 residents of rickettsiosis-endemic areas in Honshu Island during August-November 2020. Rickettsia typhi seroprevalence rate was higher than that of Orientia tsutsugamushi, indicating that murine typhus is a neglected disease.
为阐明在日本鲜有报告的鼠型斑疹伤寒的流行病学,我们于 2020 年 8 月至 11 月期间在本州岛的立克次体病流行地区对 2382 名居民进行了横断面研究。伤寒立克次体血清阳性率高于恙虫病东方体,表明鼠型斑疹伤寒是一种被忽视的疾病。
