人们普遍认为，立克次体病已经从印度许多地区消失。然而，对1996-1998年期间出现不明原因发热的37名印度南部居民进行的血清学检测证实，印度南部继续发生斑疹热、流行性/地方性斑疹伤寒和丛林斑疹伤寒。需要对这一问题的流行病学和严重程度进行评估。
Rickettsiosis is generally believed to have disappeared from many parts of India. However, the serological testing of 37 residents of southern India who presented with fever of unknown aetiology in 1996-1998 confirmed that spotted fever, epidemic/endemic typhus and scrub typhus continue to occur in southern India. The epidemiology and magnitude of the problem need to be evaluated.
