CDC Warns Murine Typhus May Be Making A Comeback

MedPage Today (3/27, Fiore) reports CDC researchers said during a clinician-focused call on Thursday that murine typhus, “a flea-borne disease that was once largely eradicated” in the US, “may be making a resurgence.” Experts warned that “cases are on the rise in two states that actively monitor the disease – Texas and California – and the illness may be going undiagnosed.”
