  abstract = {{R}ickettsioses are endemic to {V}ietnam; however, only a limited number of clinical studies have been performed on these vectorborne bacteria. {W}e conducted a prospective hospital-based study at 2 national referral hospitals in {H}anoi to describe the clinical characteristics of scrub typhus and murine typhus in northern {V}ietnam and to assess the diagnostic applicability of quantitative real-time {PCR} assays to diagnose rickettsia' diseases. {W}e enrolled 302 patients with acute undifferentiated fever and clinically suspected rickettsiosis during {M}arch 2015-{M}arch 2017. {W}e used a standardized case report form to collect clinical information and laboratory results at the time of admission and during treatment. {W}e confirmed scrub typhus in 103 (34.1%) patients and murine typhus in 12 (3.3%) patients. {T}hese results highlight the need for increased emphasis on training for healthcare providers for earlier recognition, prevention, and treatment of rickettsial diseases in {V}ietnam.},
