Our study was carried out to delineate the prevalence of these illnesses there and to assess the clinical profiles of rural and urban patients. A total of 169 patients with acute febrile illnesses (AFI) was enrolled in our study from May to December 2018, of whom 35 (20.7%) tested positive for scrub typhus and only one tested positive for leptospirosis by respective IgM ELISA. Scrub typhus seropositivity was higher in rural patients (25.0%) than in urban (18.1%). Patients in the age group 16\u201330 years were the most commonly affected. The commonest presenting symptoms were fever with headache (68.57%), extreme weakness (57.14%), myalgia\/arthralgia (54.29%) and abdominal pain (51.43%). The preliminary evidence for the presence of scrub typhus in Chhattisgarh necessitates its inclusion in the panel of tests for AFI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0049475519889712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,29]],"date-time":"2019-11-29T00:32:40Z","timestamp":1574987560000},"page":"111-115","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Scrub typhus and leptospirosis in rural and urban settings of central India: a preliminary evaluation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0009-3107","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kumar","family":"Vikram","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Senior Resident, Department of Microbiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pragya","family":"Agarwala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Senior Resident, Department of Microbiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6079-5421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anudita","family":"Bhargava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Additional Professor, Department of Microbiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yogesh","family":"Jain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consultant Paediatrician, Jan Swasthya Sahyog (A hospital in rural settings), Ganiyari, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tushar","family":"Jagzape","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Additional Professor, Department of Paediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pritam","family":"Wasnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associate Professor, Department of Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0049475519889712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2006.01636.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0049475519889712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.20546\/ijcmas.2016.507.076"},{"key":"bibr3-0049475519889712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2008.78.393"},{"key":"bibr4-0049475519889712","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(10)61265-2"},{"key":"bibr5-0049475519889712","unstructured":"Disease profile.
