We conducted a prospective seroepidemiologic survey across six major teaching hospitals in Bangladesh by using an IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results indicated recent exposure (287 of 1,209, 23.7% seropositive for <jats:italic>Orientia tsutsugamushi<\/jats:italic> and 805 of 1,209, 66.6% seropositive for <jats:italic>Rickettsia typhi<\/jats:italic>). Seropositive rates were different in each region. However, there was no geographic clustering of seropositive results for both organisms. There was no difference between those from rural or urban areas. <jats:italic>Rickettsia typhi<\/jats:italic> seroreactivity was positively correlated with age. Scrub typhus and murine typhus should be considered as possible causes of infection in Bangladesh.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.13-0570","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,5]],"date-time":"2014-08-05T06:27:27Z","timestamp":1407220047000},"page":"580-583","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Serosurveillance of Orientia tsutsugamushi and Rickettsia typhi in Bangladesh"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"Rapeephan R.","family":"Maude","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard J.","family":"Maude","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aniruddha","family":"Ghose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
