Murine typhus in two travelers returning from Bali, Indonesia: an underdiagnosed disease.

Abstract:

:Two Japanese travelers from Bali were diagnosed with murine typhus in Japan during the same period. Although one had only mild illness, the other experienced liver and kidney dysfunction. Murine typhus may be missed not only in endemic areas around the world, but also in travelers, especially those returning from marine resorts in these areas.
