Rickettsiosis Infections in Sarawak: Epidemiological Insights and Public Health Strategies

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Rickettsiosis infections pose a significant public health concern in Sarawak, Malaysia. Despite their importance, these infections remain poorly recognised, under‐researched and inadequately documented within the context of the Sarawak region. This comprehensive evaluation seeks to address this knowledge gap by providing an in‐depth analysis of ...

Difficulty in the Clinical Diagnosis of Tularemia: Highlighting the Importance of a Physical Exam

Case Reports in Pediatrics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
We report an 18‐month‐old male who presented with fever and nonspecific symptoms. He was evaluated for multiple differential diagnoses including Kawasaki disease and JIA and received treatment for them. After he was readmitted, tularemia was considered based on the physical exam finding of an ulcer on the scalp and enlarged lymph nodes.

Reassessment of the genetic basis of natural rifampin resistance in the genus Rickettsia

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 4, August 2024.
Contrary to previous studies, the natural resistance of Rickettsia, a genus of intracellular bacteria, to the antibiotic rifampin is not solely due to the Leu‐973 residue in the RNA polymerase β subunit. Abstract Rickettsia, a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria, includes species that cause significant human diseases.
