Possible Case of Novel Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis in Traveler Returning to Japan from India

A 60-year-old woman experienced fever, headache, rash, and altered vision after returning to Japan from India. Testing detected elevated antibody titers to spotted fever group rickettsia; PCR on blood yielded positive results for the rickettsial outer membrane protein A gene. We isolated a unique ri...
