dc.description.abstractRickettsiae are in many places of the world emerging or reemerging pathogens. The spotted fevers group (SFG) composes a large group of tick- and mite-borne zoonotic infections that are caused by closely related rickettsiae. The SFG rickettsiae of Southeast Asia are yet to be identified. Earlier reports have documented the endemicity of rickettsioses among adults in the Himalayan belt but no confirmed case of spotted fever have been reported from this region of India. We present two cases of SFG rickettsioses; from the northern hilly region of India that were confirmed using specific microimmunofluorescence assay.en_US
