Abstract

RICKETTSIA that are pathogenic for humans include five main antigenic groups that cause, respectively, typhus, spotted fever, scrub typhus, Q fever, and trench fever.1 There is also a group of intraleukocytic parasites that infect humans and a variety of wild and domestic animals. These organisms constitute the genus ehrlichia of the family Rickettsiaceae.2 The human pathogen in this genus, E. sennetsu, was isolated in Japan in 1954 from a patient with an infectious mononucleosis–like syndrome.3 Sennetsu rickettsiosis was subsequently described in Japan and Malaysia.4 We now report a human infection caused by E. canis. The clinical symptoms of . . .

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The diseases studied have important zoonotic potential, as human infections or risk of infection have been described.

    “we must consider the important zoonotic potential of the diseases studied, as the presence of human infections or risk of infection has already been described (5, 24, 25, 28).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
