ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

An outbreak of febrile disease involving 170 Khmer adults at an evacuation site in Thailand occurred during the dry season of 1986, only 8 months after the camp was constructed. The symptoms, effectiveness of tetracycline, and presence of a large rat population raised the suspicion of murine typhus. This first reported outbreak of murine typhus in Thailand is notable for its occurrence in a new human settlement only 8 months after construction
