为了增加对肯尼亚未分化发热的认识，我们检测了肯尼亚西部发热儿童的配对血清样本，以检测针对病原体的抗体，这些病原体越来越多地被认为是导致非洲发热性疾病的病原体。在评估的患者中，分别有8.9%、22.4%、1.1%和3.6%的患者对布氏柯克斯体、斑点热群立克次体、斑疹伤寒群立克次体和东方恙虫病群的血清反应性增强。
To increase knowledge of undifferentiated fevers in Kenya, we tested paired serum samples from febrile children in western Kenya for antibodies against pathogens increasingly recognized to cause febrile illness in Africa. Of patients assessed, 8.9%, 22.4%, 1.1%, and 3.6% had enhanced seroreactivity to Coxiella bumetii, spotted fever group rickettsiae, typhus group rickettsiae, and scrub typhus group orientiae, respectively.
