== Medical == In modern medical English, the term typhus refers to a group of rickettsioses only. Some other groups of infectious diseases also have similar names: * Typhoid fever, also called ''abdominal typhus'' occasionally, caused by a certain type of subspecies of Salmonella enterica, i.e. Salmonella Typhi. * Paratyphoid fever - a disease similar to typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella paratyphi. * Typhinia - an obsolete synonym for Relapsing fever, a group of spirochetoses caused by Borrelia. These three diseases were considered as one until first half of 19th century (typhoid fever was separated from typhus in 1829, and relapsing fever was differentiated in 1843).〔(INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN HISTORY. A guide to their causes and effects )〕 In a number of other languages (especially Slavic, such as Russian, Bulgarian, or Ukrainian), these three groups of different infectious diseases share the same basic name ("тиф" for the Cyrillic languages). In German, the term ''Typhus'' refers to typhoid fever, whereas rickettsioses are referred to as ''Fleckfieber''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Typhus (disambiguation)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
