Article Synopsis
- Acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) often goes undiagnosed in Thailand, leading to delays in treatment; a study was conducted with 1,263 patients across 12 hospitals to analyze infection types.
- Bacterial infections were more prevalent in Nakhon Phanom compared to Tak, with key risk factors including age over 50, contact with farm animals, recent antibiotic use, and existing health issues.
- The study highlights that understanding patient characteristics can improve laboratory testing and diagnosis, promoting better treatment strategies and antibiotic use in resource-limited areas.
