What is the recovery rate from endemic typhus?
Endemic typhus is a bacterial infection typically transmitted by the body louse. The recovery rate from endemic typhus is generally high with appropriate antibiotic treatment, usually involving a course of doxycycline or chloramphenicol. Most patients recover within 2-3 weeks with treatment, although some may experience prolonged symptoms or complications in severe cases. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and ensure a good recovery.
