Murine Typhus is a disease caused by the bacterium Rickettsia typhi, which is typically transmitted to humans through fleas that infest rats. Symptoms often include fever, headache, and rash, appearing about one to two weeks after exposure. The disease is more common in areas with poor sanitation and high rodent populations. Diagnosis is usually made through clinical evaluation and blood tests. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, which are effective in managing the infection. Preventive measures focus on controlling rodent populations and improving sanitation to reduce the risk of flea bites and disease transmission.
