Abstract EN
Flea-borne (murine) typhus is caused by Rickettsia typhi.
Infection in pregnant women can lead to adverse outcomes when diagnosis and treatment is delayed.
We describe how next-generation sequencing (NGS) using the Karius® test was used to rapidly diagnose murine typhus in two pregnant women admitted to a large tertiary care center in Houston, Texas, when all initial testing was nondiagnostic.
