“…Las principales manifestaciones clínicas del síndrome rickettsial en humanos incluyen fiebre, rash y presencia de escara, y pueden producirse combinaciones; no obstante, no son patognomónicas (3) . En Perú, por evidencia serológica (4) se reconoce a la enfermedad causada por Rickettsias similar a SFAI, mayormente sin rash ni escara. Las especies patogénicas circulantes en la actualidad son prácticamente desconocidas por la escasez de estudios para caracterizar molecularmente aislamientos.…”

“…Rickettsial diseases have been extensively described across various regions of Peru through the identification of group-specific antibodies (typhus group rickettsiae [TGR] and SFGR) and/or rickettsial DNA in samples collected from human cases with febrile illness [ 13 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. R. asembonensis has predominantly been detected in flea species of the genus Ctenocephalides collected from domestic or backyard animals belonging to individuals with an acute undifferentiated fever (AUF) or asymptomatic individuals in the Amazon basin and multiple other Peruvian urban and border areas [ 17 , 22 , 23 ].…”

Rickettsioses, often underreported, pose public health challenges. Rickettsia asembonensis is a potential emerging pathogen that was previously detected in humans, animals, and a variety of arthropods. While its pathogenicity in humans remains unclear, it poses a potential public health threat. Here, we present an extended epidemiological, diagnostic, and genetic analysis of the information provided in a preliminary report on the investigation of rickettsiae in Peru. In particular, we report the detection of R. asembonensis in blood specimens collected from four human patients with an acute undifferentiated fever of a seven- to nine-day duration, all of whom tested negative for other vector-borne pathogens. Additionally, we describe the replicative capacity of the R. asembonensis isolates in cell cultures.
