Abstract
People in 5 Orang Ulu villages in Sarawak, Malaysia were tested for rickettsial infection by Weil-Felix reaction and by indirect immunoperoxidase reaction. Of those surveyed 9.6% were positive for typhus. Of the positives, 3.8% were positive for tick typhus (7/11), scrub typhus (4/11) or endemic typhus (1/11). The incidence of typhus was higher among semi-nomadic Penans compared with the settled Kayans.Entities:
