The Laboratory Diagnosis of Endemic Typhus and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever with Special Reference to Cross-Immunity Tests1

L. F. Badger
P. A. Surgeon, United States Public Health Service

There are certain criteria for the identification of an unknown strain of virus as one of endemic typhus or spotted fever.

Satisfactory cross-immunity tests must be obtained before one can state definitely whether or not an unknown virus is one of spotted fever or typhus. In performing cross-immunity tests precautions must be taken to rule out secondary infections and non-specific immunity.
