TL;DR: It is suggested that a wide range of treatable or preventable pathogens are implicated in non-malarial febrile illness in Laos and empirical treatment with doxycycline for patients with undifferentiated fever and negative rapid diagnostic tests for malaria and dengue could be an appropriate strategy for rural health workers in Laos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of Scrub Typhus
TL;DR: The limitations of IFA are discussed, the value of other methods based on antigen detection and nucleic acid amplification are debated, and recommendations for future study are outlined.
