ABSTRACT Background Acute febrile illnesses in sub‐Saharan Africa are often attributed to malaria, yet many patients test negative for malaria parasites. The aetiology of nonmalarial fevers remains understudied. Here, we examine likely causes of febrile illnesses and their association with poor clinical outcomes in Angola.

Corticosteroids for Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Secondary to Typhoid Fever: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Unlike haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) induced by tuberculosis or rickettsial disease, there is no consensus for the treatment of HLH secondary to typhoid fever (Salmonella Typhi). After a short illustrative example, we searched among the previously described cases of HLH secondary to typhoid fever to determine: (i) Is the specific ...

ABSTRACT Objective Scrub typhus is a major cause of acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) in the Asia–Pacific region. Nonspecific presentation, limited diagnostic accuracy and delayed treatment increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to develop a simple clinical score for early diagnosis in adults with AUFI. Methods A cross‐sectional

Improved Detection and Sequencing of Rickettsia spp. DNA in South African Wildlife
Nested gltA PCR detected Rickettsia spp. DNA in 44% of South African wildlife samples previously negative by RLB, revealing spotted fever, typhus and transitional group lineages, novel host records, co‐infection and multi‐organ dissemination in impala, highlighting complex wildlife involvement and zoonotic risk within a One Health framework.
