Article Synopsis
- Flea-borne typhus (FBT), or murine typhus, is a zoonotic infection that occurs worldwide, but is relatively rare in the U.S., with endemics noted in places like Los Angeles County.
- FBT usually presents as a mild fever but can lead to serious complications like hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in some cases.
- The report discusses a specific case where the patient was treated with doxycycline for FBT and successfully recovered from HLH, along with a review of similar documented cases.
Hypervirulent (hvKp) causes invasive infections in the community setting. We report a rare case of uterine abscess due to hvKp, which appeared as a large-sized ovarian tumor-like pelvic mass. A timely laboratory warning of possible hvKp prompted correct diagnosis and helped guide perioperative decision making, contributing to successful treatment.
