Typhus Fever in Peru: A Study of Epidemiology by Means of Complement-Fixation
Abstract
Summary
An epidemiological study of typhus fever in Peru was made using the complement-fixation reaction with specific classic and murine antigens. Typhus fever in Peru appears to be exclusively classic in type. The complement-fixing titer tends to fall after approximately six months but may be persistent for many years.
