Typhus Scrub Typhus Diagnostics Cross-sectional study Azithromycin with or without cefixime for suspected or culture-confirmed uncomplicated typhoid fever in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan (ACT-South Asia): a double-blind, parallel-group, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 4 trial https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1016-s1473-3099-26-00358-0-b88ea3a1/ https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1016-s1473-3099-26-00358-0-b88ea3a1/ Sat, 01 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT The findings support the WHO recommendation of oral azithromycin monotherapy for uncomplicated typhoid fever and provide no evidence to justify adding cefixime, which has important antimicrobial stewardship implications given concerns about dual-drug resistance emergence. Typhoid fever COVID-19 Dengue Malaria Typhus Scrub Typhus Treatment Journal article Spatiotemporal epidemiology and clinical manifestations of two decades of scrub typhus in India: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1136-bmjgh-2025-018998-4a28d10f/ https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1136-bmjgh-2025-018998-4a28d10f/ Sun, 03 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT The abstract frames scrub typhus as an increasing public health concern in India and indicates that its geographic and temporal patterns may inform management and control policy. It also notes that addressing the reported upsurge may require an interdisciplinary public health approach. Typhus Scrub Typhus Transmission dynamics Diagnostics Treatment Health policy Systematic review Diversification of Orientia tsutsugamushi genotypes by intragenic recombination and their potential expansion in endemic areas https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1371-journal-pntd-0005408-9fe5974c/ https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1371-journal-pntd-0005408-9fe5974c/ Wed, 01 Mar 2017 00:00:00 GMT The abstract links antigenic diversity with challenges for developing effective diagnostics and vaccines. It suggests monitoring dominant vector species and O. tsutsugamushi genotype prevalence to help anticipate epidemiological changes, but it does not provide evidence that such monitoring has been implemented or validated.
