sennetsu rickettsiosis
Medical term for a specific rickettsial infection; used in clinical or academic contexts.
Sennetsu rickettsiosis is a rickettsial infection distinct from Japanese spotted fever.
Scrub typhus, a more common rickettsial infection in Japan, transmitted by chiggers.
Compound of 腺熱 (sennetsu, 'glandular fever') + リケッチア (rickettsia) + 症 (shō, 'disease'). The term is a direct medical coinage.
