Characteristics of louse-borne relapsing fever in Ethiopian children and adults
Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 2004Louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is endemic in Ethiopia. The epidemiological and clinical aspects of LBRF and the differences between the infection in children and that in adults were investigated in a rural hospital in Ethiopia. During the 5-year study (1997-2002), 197 patients had a confirmed diagnosis of LBRF.
