We determined that the rickettsial diseases scrub typhus and endemic typhus were uncommon causes of febrile illness, as was tick typhus, except in forest dwelling peoples. The rate of occurrence of SFGR specific antibody was 16.5% among 412 forest dwellers, indicating that tick typhus may be a frequent cause of illness in this population.engAdolescentAdultAntibodies, Bacterial --analysisChildFemaleHumansMalaysiaMaleOrientia tsutsugamushi --immunologyRickettsia rickettsii --immunologyRickettsia typhi --immunologyRocky Mountain Spotted Fever --diagnosisRural PopulationScrub Typhus --diagnosisTyphus, Endemic Flea-Borne --diagnosisComparative Study
