Epidemiology of acute undifferentiated febrile illness and acute encephalitis syndrome cases in Northern India: a prospective observational study
This study identifies scrub typhus as the predominant and leptospirosis as the second most common infection in sporadic cases of AUFI and AES. Therefore, continuous monitoring of changing aetiologies is crucial for the effective implementation of targeted control and preventive measures for neglected tropical diseases.
