The article presents a study on cases of sequence-confirmed Rickettsia (R.) felis infections in Laos which had comorbidities associated with variable degrees of immunodeficiency from 2003 through 2011. Topics discussed include the high R. felis carriage rate in fleas found in Laos and the low incidence of R. felis human infections, vectorborne infections found in two of the cases, and results of DNA sequencing.
